Built from high speed steel with a bright\/uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap features 4 flutes and a right-hand thread direction. It carries a Class 2B thread fit and an H5 thread limit, making it suitable for standard tolerance threading applications. With an overall length of 3-13\/16 inches and a weight of 0.6 pounds, it is sized for use in standard tap handles, CNC machining centers, and manual drill press setups where straight flute geometry is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field repair settings where 5\/8-11 UNC threads are required. Straight flute taps are well suited for threading short-chipping materials such as cast iron, brass, and hardened plastics. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads of taper — allows the tap to start easily in a through-hole or a deep blind hole where starting clearance is adequate. It is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians working to ASME B1.1 UNC thread standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 UNC right-hand thread form to ASME B1.1 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes for efficient chip clearance in short-chipping materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for easy entry in through-holes and adequate-depth blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 2B fit with H5 thread limit for standard tolerance internal threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use straight flute tap for standard 5\/8-11 UNC threading applications in manual tap handles and CNC tapping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap handle, tapping head, or CNC rigid tapping cycle. Always ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct diameter for 5\/8-11 UNC threads before tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not force the tap if resistance increases suddenly — back off to break 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: 5\/8-11\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: 4\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: H5\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: 3-13\/16 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: 0.6 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: K008563AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727386837298,"sku":"K008563AS","price":80.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/007d614362f37336b313e2ee67d61a1e.jpg?v=1788677132","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k008563as-5-8-11-unc-straight-flute-tap-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
