Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than cut it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. This tap is manufactured from high-speed steel and finished with a TiCN coating that increases surface hardness and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The plug chamfer with 3 to 5 chamfered threads makes it suited for through-hole threading where the tap can run fully through the workpiece. Overall length is 2 inches with a thread length of 0.6875 inches and a right-hand thread direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments where 6-32 UNC fastener threads are required. Common applications include threading holes in thin sheet metal, aluminum housings, and electronic enclosures. It fits standard tap holders and handles compatible with the 0.1410-inch shank diameter. The H3 thread limit designation ensures consistent fit with standard 6-32 UNC fasteners across typical production tolerances. Installation is performed on drill presses, CNC machining centers, or tapping machines running at appropriate speeds for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material to produce chip-free, stronger threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiCN coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 3 to 5 chamfered threads optimized for through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit provides consistent fit with standard 6-32 UNC fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction for use with standard tapping equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading of 6-32 UNC internal threads.

Secure the workpiece fully before tapping and apply appropriate tapping fluid for the material being threaded. Use a torque-limiting tap holder where possible to prevent tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating tapping equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1410 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1100 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: K010330AS85\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51741450076466,"sku":"K010330AS85","price":40.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e367cfee7c353c78f7e2d64016cf5d68.jpg?v=1788831577","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k010330as85-thread-forming-tap-6-32-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
