Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it delivers consistent thread quality in production and maintenance threading applications. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual lead-in of 3 to 5 threads, making it well suited for through-hole threading. At 2 inches overall length with an 11\/16-inch thread length, this tap fits standard tap wrenches and is sized for the small-diameter, fine-pitch work common in precision assembly and light mechanical fabrication. The 3-flute design balances chip clearance with tool rigidity in this size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in cast iron and non-ferrous metals, covering the material types most commonly encountered in precision machining, maintenance repair, and light manufacturing environments. The right-hand thread direction and 2B\/3B class of fit tolerance make it appropriate for standard fastener applications where a controlled fit is required. It is sold individually and is part of the Kennametal Series 5305 and 5303 tap lineup, which covers a broad range of UNF and UNC sizes for shop and field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-40 UNF thread form with right-hand cut for standard fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in suited for through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers durability across cast iron and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edges before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit provides controlled oversize tolerance for consistent class 2B and 3B fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute straight flute geometry balances chip evacuation and rigidity at this diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in cast iron and non-ferrous metals.

Align the tap perpendicular to the workpiece before applying cutting pressure to avoid thread misalignment or tap breakage. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and clear the flutes, particularly in blind-hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B and 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.688 inches (11\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5305, 5303\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1541605\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743931826482,"sku":"1541605","price":26.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6860eb7f5929c7b784ca4e0d7f44f6cb.jpg?v=1788851494","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1541605-hand-tap-6-40-unf-plug-rh-hss-bright","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
