Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright finish, it features a 52-degree helix angle that efficiently evacuates chips upward out of the hole — a critical advantage when tapping blind holes. The bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of a hole where full thread depth is required. With a thread size of 8-32 UNC and an H3 thread limit, this tap produces accurate oversized threads sized to accept standard STI inserts. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance professionals use this tap when repairing stripped threads or building insert-threaded assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for repair work and production threading in applications where 8-32 UNC Helicoil-compatible inserts are required. Typical scenarios include stripped thread repair in aluminum housings, electronic enclosures, and light machinery components. The spiral flute geometry makes it particularly effective in through-holes and shallow blind holes where chip clearance is a priority. The Helicoil reference number for this tap is 6905-2, which can be used to cross-reference compatible insert tooling and installation kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread size for standard unified coarse thread STI applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e52-degree spiral flute helix for effective upward chip evacuation in blind and through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer design allows threading to near full depth in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit provides the oversized tolerance required for Helicoil-style insert fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright finish with no coating — suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Helicoil-style screw thread inserts; Helicoil reference number 6905-2.

Always use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece surface before starting. Power down and de-energize any equipment before performing thread repair on installed components. Follow the insert manufacturer's drilling and tapping sequence to achieve correct insert fit and thread engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52 degrees\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: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelicoil Reference Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6905-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: K007314AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744810795314,"sku":"K007314AS","price":35.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/56c7d7083e2c9c11bff12d0b878f1ee8.jpg?v=1788860777","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k007314as-spiral-flute-sti-tap-8-32-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
