Built from high-speed steel with a steam oxide coating, it reduces friction and resists wear during threading operations. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, keeping the flutes clear and allowing continuous feeding in through-hole applications. With an overall length of 2 inches, a thread length of 0.39 inches, and a shank diameter of 0.141 inches, this tap fits standard tap holders and is sized for precise work in small-diameter fastener applications. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians install this tap in manual and machine-tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading through-holes in a range of materials including low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, hardened steel, cast iron, aluminum, and cast aluminum. The plug chamfer provides a gradual thread lead-in with approximately 3 to 5 chamfered threads, making it the standard choice for most general through-hole tapping jobs in production and repair environments. The H2 thread limit holds tight tolerances and supports both 2B and 3B class-of-fit requirements.\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\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit supports 2B and 3B class-of-fit tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for standard lead-in in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through requirement  -  compatible with conventional hand or machine tapping with cutting fluid applied externally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 6-40 UNF spiral point plug tap for use in through-hole tapping applications across materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, hardened steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel.

Always apply a suitable cutting fluid for the workpiece material before and during tapping to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap-drill diameter for a 6-40 UNF thread before tapping begins. Do not force the tap if resistance increases sharply  -  back off to clear chips and reapply cutting fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B and 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\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: 0.39 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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.011 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 1207601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743367659826,"sku":"1207601","price":25.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a86ca2c0dde3c2830ebf6b546a2f290f.jpg?v=1788846251","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1207601-spiral-point-tap-6-40-unf-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
