Osg 1062802 Straight Flute Tap 6-32 Unc Hss Plug

Product Description

The OSG 1062802 is a straight flute plug tap designed for cutting 6-32 UNC internal threads in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from high-speed steel, it delivers consistent thread quality in production and maintenance tapping operations. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in, making it suitable for through-hole and moderately deep blind-hole applications. With a 2-inch overall length and a thread length of 11/16 inches, this tap fits standard tap handles and machine setups. The H1 thread limit ensures close tolerance control for general-purpose threading work.

This tap is intended for use in machining, fabrication, and maintenance environments where 6-32 UNC threads are required. It is well suited for tapping aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel. Machinists, tool and die professionals, and maintenance technicians commonly use this tap for small-fastener thread repair and new-hole threading in light to medium duty applications.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction
• Plug chamfer for gradual thread engagement in through-holes and open blind holes
• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• H1 thread limit for close-tolerance general-purpose threading
• 2 straight flutes for efficient chip clearance in short-chipping materials
• Compact 2-inch overall length fits standard tap handles and machine spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production tap for applications requiring 6-32 UNC internal threads. Compatible with materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a standard tap handle, T-handle wrench, or machine tap holder. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the tap is properly aligned with the pilot hole before beginning the threading operation. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tool life. Avoid forcing the tap in brittle or hardened materials to prevent breakage.
