It cuts a 1\/4-20 UNC right-hand thread to a 2B class of fit using a plug chamfer entry, making it suited for production and maintenance threading operations. The tap is manufactured from HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) and carries a triple coating of TiN, CrC, and C for improved wear resistance and surface lubricity. Overall length is 3.15 inches (80.00 mm), thread length is 19\/32 inch (0.590 inch), and the H5 thread limit ensures consistent tolerance control across multiple passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in through-hole threading applications on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, keeping the flutes clear and reducing the risk of chip packing in production environments. It is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping heads where controlled feed and rotation can be maintained. With two flutes and a plug chamfer, it performs best in applications where the workpiece can accept chip ejection through the bottom of the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward for clean through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHSS-E (cobalt-enhanced high-speed steel) base material for improved hardness and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple coating — TiN, CrC, and C — reduces friction and extends tool life in non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit provides tight tolerance control for 2B class of fit threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (3-5 thread lead) allows easy starting and smooth cutting progression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, 1\/4-20 UNC, compatible with standard 1\/4-inch tap holders and chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading of non-ferrous metals.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole diameter is correct for a 1\/4-20 UNC tap before beginning the threading cycle. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for non-ferrous metals to maintain coating effectiveness and surface finish. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if thread quality degrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\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: H5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: HSS-E (High-Speed Steel with Cobalt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KSMN34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN, CrC, C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.15 inches (80.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.590 inches (19\/32 inch, 14.99 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.590 inches (19\/32 inch, 14.98 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2550 inches (6.48 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: T672\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 5689818\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753751642418,"sku":"5689818","price":56.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bf2d1f48d6ae51a194f46e9d8b682a48_b660bbec-8dcb-426c-98b0-d9b492565e95.jpg?v=1788940315","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-5689818-spiral-point-tap-1-4-20-unc-hss-e","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
