Hertel K020484AS Straight Flute Tap M24x3.00 Metric Coarse

Product Description

The HERTEL K020484AS is a straight flute plug tap designed for cutting M24x3.00 metric coarse internal threads in a wide range of metalworking and fabrication applications. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where thread quality and dimensional accuracy are critical. The plug chamfer style provides a balance between starting ease and full thread engagement, making it suitable for through-hole and moderate blind-hole work. With 4 flutes and a D4 thread limit, it maintains tight tolerance control for standard metric threaded assemblies.

This tap is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where M24 metric coarse threads are required. It is compatible with standard tapping chucks and CNC tap holders sized for its 0.7600-inch shank diameter. Typical applications include threading structural steel components, machinery housings, fixtures, and equipment frames. It is installed by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working to metric thread standards.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with metric thread standards and tapping procedures. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap holder is properly aligned before engaging the cut to prevent tap breakage or thread damage. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace when thread quality degrades.
