Osg 1202400 Spiral Point Tap 6-32 Unc 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The OSG 1202400 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 6-32 UNC threads in a wide range of metals and alloys. Built from high-speed steel with a bright finish, it features a plug chamfer and two flutes that push chips forward ahead of the cut, reducing clogging in through-hole applications. The overall length is 2 inches, with a thread length of 0.39 inches and a shank diameter of 0.141 inches. The H1 thread limit provides tight tolerance control for consistent thread quality. This tap is suited for production and maintenance threading work performed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and general metalworking professionals.

The OSG 1202400 is appropriate for through-hole threading in a variety of materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, and hardened steel. The plug chamfer style makes it a standard choice for through-holes where full thread engagement is required at the bottom of the cut. It is used across light manufacturing, fabrication shops, and maintenance-repair-operations environments where 6-32 UNC fastener threads are common.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread form with right-hand thread direction
• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole applications
• H1 thread limit for close tolerance thread production
• Bright finish with no coating for straightforward inspection and re-sharpening
• Compact 2-inch overall length fits standard tap handles and CNC toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threading tool for any application requiring 6-32 UNC right-hand threads in through-hole configurations across ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with tap selection, speed, and feed parameters for the workpiece material. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured before tapping. Use an appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the material being threaded to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if damaged to avoid thread damage or tap breakage.
