Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap features a bottoming chamfer that allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes. With 6 flutes and an H6 thread limit, it delivers consistent thread geometry and chip clearance in short-chipping materials. The overall length is 5 inches, the thread length is 2 inches, and the shank diameter is 1.644 inches. This tap is suited for use in manual tapping operations or with machine tapping setups where straight-flute tooling is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in precision machining environments including job shops, maintenance and repair operations, and manufacturing facilities where UNF thread standards are required. The bottoming chamfer design is particularly useful when threads must extend to or near the bottom of a blind hole. Right-hand thread direction is standard for conventional UNF fastener applications. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals that produce short chips, such as cast iron, brass, and free-machining steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer allows threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-flute design provides improved chip evacuation and thread finish in short-chipping materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH6 thread limit ensures consistent tolerance for standard UNF fastener fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids in standard tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction for standard UNF threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 2-12 UNF right-hand internal threads.

Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the correct cutting fluid is applied before beginning the tapping operation. Power down and de-energize any machine tool before changing or setting tooling. Do not force the tap if resistance increases unexpectedly, as breakage in a blind hole can result in difficult extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.644 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 87065\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753799778610,"sku":"87065","price":453.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b133a07fabfbbc8814bf7ac70029a5d6.jpg?v=1788940775","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-87065-straight-flute-tap-2-12-unf-6-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
