Sized at 1\/4-20 UNC with a taper chamfer, this tap features 4 flutes ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. The taper chamfer distributes cutting forces gradually across the leading threads, making it well suited for through-hole and entry-level thread starting applications. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a thread length of approximately 0.75 inches, it fits standard tap wrenches and drill press tap holders used in machine shop and field service environments. An H1 thread limit ensures close tolerances on finished threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for right-hand threading operations in materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel. It is used in general machining, maintenance and repair, and fabrication settings where 1\/4-20 UNC threaded holes are required. The straight flute geometry works best in shorter-chipping materials. This is a Series 101 tap appropriate for both manual tapping with a tap wrench and machine tapping at low speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread form with right-hand cutting direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer distributes load across multiple leading threads for easier starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes for use in shorter-chipping metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides good wear resistance at moderate cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH1 thread limit for close-tolerance thread production\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel.

Always secure the workpiece and ensure proper alignment between the tap and pilot hole before applying torque. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and clear flutes, and never force a tap against resistance to avoid breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H1\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: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (0.748 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.181 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.255 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.191 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: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Cast Iron, Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel, High-Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 101\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 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: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1100000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740417491250,"sku":"1100000","price":22.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ef0152577d2c521f73c6f3ea0930fb00.jpg?v=1788824874","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1100000-straight-flute-tap-1-4-20-unc-taper-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
