Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, making this tap well suited for through-hole applications where chip evacuation is a priority. The tap is ground to an H3 thread limit and carries a plug chamfer with 2 flutes. It measures 2.375 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch thread length. The bright, uncoated high-speed steel construction makes it easy to inspect and works across a wide range of general-purpose tapping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used to produce STI-standard UNC threads sized 6-32, which accept Helicoil-style wire thread inserts used to repair damaged threads or to reinforce threads in soft base materials. Typical applications include aerospace maintenance, industrial repair, and precision machining shops where worn or stripped threads in aluminum housings, castings, or thin-walled parts need to be restored to original fastener specifications. The Helicoil reference number for this tap is 06CSA. Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward for clean through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSTI UNC thread standard for use with Helicoil-style wire thread inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for controlled fit and consistent thread quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides a balance between starting ease and thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers good toughness in general-purpose tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an STI UNC replacement tap for 6-32 thread insert applications.

Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before beginning to cut. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the base material being tapped. Do not force the tap if resistance increases unexpectedly — back off to clear chips before continuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: STI UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelicoil Reference Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 06CSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 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: K007017AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730068504882,"sku":"K007017AS","price":31.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8b1337c15b3f6b713f1e3f9fe388793f.jpg?v=1788711170","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k007017as-spiral-point-sti-tap-6-32-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
