Hertel K011035AS Spiral Point Tap 6-32 Unc Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL K011035AS is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 6-32 UNC threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright finish, this plug chamfer tap pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting edge, keeping the flute area clear during machining. It features 2 flutes, an overall length of 2 inches, a thread length of 11/16 inches, and an H9 thread limit for controlled fit tolerance. Right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC specification. This tap is suited for machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working in production or repair environments.

This tap is used in general metalworking applications where 6-32 UNC internal threads are required in through-holes. Typical uses include tapping steel, aluminum, and similar materials in machine components, fixtures, and assemblies. The plug chamfer style makes it the standard choice for through-hole work where chip evacuation in the cutting direction is acceptable. It is well suited for both CNC tapping operations and manual tapping with a tap handle or drill press.

Key Features

• Spiral point design pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole tapping
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer for standard through-hole thread starting
• H9 thread limit for consistent tolerance control on 6-32 UNC threads
• Bright finish with no coolant-through requirement simplifies tooling setup
• Right-hand thread direction per UNC standard

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling choice for any application requiring a 6-32 UNC spiral point plug tap with H9 thread limit and a 2-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed in a tap holder or collet with proper alignment to the drilled hole centerline to prevent tap breakage. Always use the correct tap drill size for 6-32 UNC threads before tapping. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use, especially in production settings.
