Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tap forms threads by displacing material rather than cutting, producing strong, work-hardened threads without chips. The TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in production environments. With a 2-inch overall length and a 0.6875-inch thread length, this tap is sized for compact fastener applications common in electrical enclosures, instrument panels, and light fabrication work. It carries a 2B class of fit and H3 thread limit for standard tolerance threading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for blind hole threading in soft to medium-hardness metals including aluminum, brass, and mild steel. The bottoming chamfer — with 1 to 2 chamfered threads — allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it the right choice when full thread depth is required and clearance is minimal. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance trades use this tap in CNC tapping operations, drill press setups, and hand-tapping fixtures where a 6-32 UNC thread is required in tight or bottom-critical locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer (1-2 chamfered threads) for threading close to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material rather than cutting, eliminating chips in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride coating reduces friction and extends tool service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles production tapping demands\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and 2B class of fit for standard tolerance 6-32 UNC threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; no coolant-through feature required for this tap size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 0.141-inch shank tap holders and collet-style tapping chucks compatible with the 0.110-inch square drive.

Secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole surface before starting. Apply appropriate tapping fluid for the workpiece material to reduce friction and prevent galling. Replace the tap at the first sign of excessive torque or surface finish degradation to avoid thread damage in the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-2P\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: 2.0000 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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\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: K010331AS25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727101788466,"sku":"K010331AS25","price":28.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/74103bd5d7a40e671d02272c1b541219.jpg?v=1788673362","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k010331as25-thread-forming-tap-6-32-unc-2b-bottoming","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
