Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap drives chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, keeping the flutes clear and reducing the risk of chip packing. At 2.0 inches overall length with 2 flutes and an H11 thread limit, it is suited for production and maintenance tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is a right-hand tap with no coolant-through feature, intended for use in standard drill press, CNC, or hand-tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is commonly used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where 6-32 UNC threaded holes are required in through-hole workpieces. The plug chamfer style — typically 3 to 5 threads of chamfer length — makes it the standard choice for starting a thread and completing it in a through-hole in one pass. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general metalworking tradespeople frequently use 6-32 taps for enclosure hardware, panel fasteners, and light-gauge metal assemblies. The H11 oversize tolerance accommodates standard thread-fit requirements for this size class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing chip packing in through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style suitable for starting and completing threads in through-holes in one operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH11 thread limit with 0.005 inch oversize allowance for consistent fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish for general-purpose tapping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, 2-flute design for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit spiral point plug tap for machines and hand-tapping setups requiring 6-32 UNC thread cutting in through-hole workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed and operated by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians using standard tapping heads, drill presses, CNC machining centers, or tap wrenches. Always secure the workpiece firmly and use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the material being threaded. Do not exceed the recommended speed range for the workpiece material, and never reverse a tap under power without a reversing-capable spindle. Discard the tap if chipping, dulling, or oversized threads are observed.\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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 Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmount Oversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 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: 0.13 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: K014500AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730508906802,"sku":"K014500AS","price":21.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d7e30448f0b25b0e24db6581f334c150.jpg?v=1788718690","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k014500as-spiral-point-tap-6-32-unc-hss-plug","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
