It features a plug chamfer entry, three flutes, and is manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The plug chamfer provides a gradual thread lead-in, making it suitable for through-hole and moderate-depth blind-hole applications. At 1-15\/16 inches overall length with a 5\/8-inch thread length, this compact tap is well-suited for small-fastener work. The H2 thread limit maintains a 2B class of fit, delivering reliable thread tolerance for standard mechanical assemblies. Machinists and tooling professionals install this tap in hand-tapping operations or low-speed machine tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for threading #5-44 UNF holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar machinable materials. The straight flute geometry makes it most effective in through-holes or shallow blind holes where chip evacuation is manageable. It is a common choice for instrument-scale and light-duty precision work where the fine 44-thread-per-inch pitch is required. Right-hand thread direction matches standard UNF fastener orientation. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for general-purpose use without specialized cutting fluid requirements, though using a suitable cutting oil will extend tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-44 UNF straight flute tap with plug chamfer for gradual thread lead-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-flute design provides chip clearance in through-hole and shallow blind-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit holds 2B class of fit for standard UNF thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, compatible with standard UNF fastener assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suited for general-purpose use with or without cutting fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any standard tap wrench, T-handle, or low-speed machine tapping setup that accepts a 0.141-inch shank diameter.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the drilled hole before beginning. Apply an appropriate cutting oil or tapping fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Back the tap out periodically when hand-tapping to break and clear chips, particularly in materials prone to chip packing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-44\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.110 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: 0.2 pounds\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: K008133AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731068027186,"sku":"K008133AS","price":21.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a8014bb2cd2842a636d673d544b44888.jpg?v=1788726538","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k008133as-straight-flute-tap-5-44-unf-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
