Guhring 9044025035050 Spiral Point Tap 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The GUHRING 9044025035050 is a spiral point plug tap designed for through-hole threading in a wide range of metallic workpiece materials. Ground from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with an oxide coating, this tap is built to handle demanding threading operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals alike. It cuts a 6-32 UNC thread profile, right-hand direction, to a Class 2B/3B fit with an H5 thread limit. The 3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, making it well suited for through-hole applications where chip evacuation is critical. Overall length is 2.0 inches with a thread length of 0.472 inches.

This tap is intended for production and maintenance threading in machine shop, toolroom, and field repair environments. It is applied in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines where through-hole threading is required at the 6-32 UNC standard. The cobalt steel construction provides elevated heat resistance, extending tool life when tapping harder or abrasive alloys at higher feed rates. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this tooling.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread profile, right-hand cut, Class 2B/3B fit with H5 thread limit
• 3-flute spiral point geometry promotes forward chip ejection in through-hole threading
• Cobalt high-speed steel construction for enhanced heat and wear resistance
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides corrosion protection during storage and use
• Plug chamfer style for standard through-hole entry without specialized lead-in
• No coolant-through requirement - compatible with flood, mist, or paste lubricant setups

Compatibility

Rated for threading in aluminum, aluminum alloys, case-hardened steel, cast iron, free cutting steel, heat-treatable steel, stainless steel, structural steel, sulfured steel, and tool steel. Designed for through-hole threading applications per the 6-32 UNC standard.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapping head, tapping arm, or rigid CNC tapping cycle. Before use, confirm the pilot hole diameter is correctly sized for a 6-32 UNC thread to avoid tap breakage. Apply appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material. Never reverse a broken tap with force - use a tap extractor and follow standard shop safety procedures when clearing a seized tool.
