Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance in general-purpose threading applications. The plug chamfer  -  with a standard lead-in  -  makes it suitable for both starting a thread and completing it in most production and maintenance environments. At 1.75 inches overall length and a 2-flute geometry, this tap is sized for the smallest standard inch thread series, commonly used in precision assemblies, electronics, and instrumentation work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for threading 2-56 UNC holes in light metals, plastics, and mild steels encountered in precision manufacturing, electronics fabrication, and instrument repair. The 2B class of fit produces a standard commercial thread tolerance, appropriate for fasteners requiring reliable engagement without close-tolerance fitting. The H2 thread limit provides a slightly oversized thread to account for spring-back in common materials. It is suited for use in drill press, CNC, or hand-tapping operations where straight-flute geometry and chip control are appropriate for the material and hole depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-56 UNC thread form for small-fastener applications in electronics and precision assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides a standard lead-in suitable for most through-hole and moderate blind-hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles a broad range of base materials including light metals and plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit produces a 2B class of fit for standard commercial thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute straight design is effective in materials that produce short, manageable chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish  -  no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance in fine-pitch work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or production tap for 2-56 UNC threading operations; compatible with any tap holder or chuck sized for the corresponding shank diameter of a 2-56 straight flute tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThreading should be performed by a machinist or qualified technician familiar with tap sizing and hole preparation requirements. Ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for 2-56 UNC prior to tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Reverse the tap periodically when hand-tapping to break chips and prevent binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\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: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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: K008033AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739302461746,"sku":"K008033AS","price":25.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5b2e3197d03cfc7e91a255f8c821271c.jpg?v=1788812878","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k008033as-straight-flute-tap-2-56-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
