Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, this tap delivers reliable wear resistance across production and maintenance threading applications. It features a plug chamfer for progressive thread engagement, a 45-degree helix angle for fast flute action, and a 2B class of fit for standard commercial thread tolerances. With an H3 thread limit, it holds tight dimensional consistency across repeated cuts. The 2-inch overall length fits standard tap holders and hand-tapping setups alike. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading blind or through holes requiring 6-32 UNC threads in light-duty to medium-duty machining environments. The 3-flute spiral design evacuates chips upward and out of the hole, making it especially effective in through-hole applications and where chip packing is a concern. The right-hand flute direction and right-hand thread direction are the standard configuration for conventional 6-32 fastener applications. It is appropriate for manual tapping operations as well as low-speed machine tapping on drill presses and CNC equipment without coolant-through capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-32 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides progressive thread engagement suitable for through holes and blind holes with adequate depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle promotes fast chip evacuation and reduces torque buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit ensures consistent 2B class of fit across production runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide coating improves surface lubricity and provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction withstands the heat and stress of repeated threading cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for any tap holder, wrench, or machine spindle configured for 6-32 UNC spiral flute taps with standard shank dimensions for this size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThreading operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance mechanic familiar with tap geometry and proper feeds and speeds for high-speed steel tooling. Secure the workpiece fully before tapping and ensure the correct tap drill size has been used for 6-32 UNC prior to starting the tap. Apply cutting fluid or tapping compound appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and reduce the risk of tap breakage. This tap does not support coolant-through delivery, so external lubrication is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 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: Oxide\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: 0.12 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: K033002AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730966774066,"sku":"K033002AS","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cc6f3b4387decba910dc2ff8745720fe.jpg?v=1788725431","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k033002as-spiral-flute-tap-6-32-unc-hss-oxide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
