Manufactured from High Speed Steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers consistent thread form on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Four straight flutes promote chip evacuation in shorter-chipping materials, while the plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — provides a gradual cutting action that reduces entry force. The D6 thread limit holds tolerance for general-purpose metric threading applications in production or maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for machine tapping operations on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses equipped with a tapping head or rigid tapping cycle. Its straight-flute geometry is best applied to through-holes or shallow blind holes where chips can fall clear of the cutting zone. The plug chamfer makes it a practical choice as a starter or all-purpose tap in M20 x 2.00 Metric Fine threading jobs across industrial maintenance, toolroom, and light manufacturing settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM20 x 2.00 Metric Fine thread form for precision threaded assemblies requiring finer pitch than standard metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes for chip clearance in short-chipping and through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (D6 thread limit) for general-purpose threading with gradual cutting entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Speed Steel construction provides wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — compatible with cutting fluids and coolants suited to HSS tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction for standard tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling selection for any application requiring a Metric Fine M20 x 2.00 straight-flute plug tap with a D6 thread limit and HSS construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this tap should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and ensure the spindle or tapping head is properly aligned to the pre-drilled pilot hole to prevent tap breakage. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material before and during the tapping cycle. Never reverse a broken tap fragment with force — consult proper tap extraction procedures to avoid damaging the workpiece thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M20 x 2.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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: D6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-15\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.652 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.489 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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\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: K025492AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748572758322,"sku":"K025492AS","price":85.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7b167df70dc5a17750e16fd0af462bee.jpg?v=1788895312","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k025492as-straight-flute-tap-m20-x-2-00-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
