Osg 1824802 Spiral Point Sti Tap 6-32 Unc 2 Flutes

Product Description

The OSG 1824802 is a spiral point STI tap designed for thread-forming operations in through-hole applications. Built from high-speed steel with an elektraLUBE coating, this plug chamfer tap handles 6-32 UNC threading with 2 flutes and an H2 thread limit for consistent tolerance control. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, reducing clogging in through-hole work. Overall length is 2 inches with a thread length of 11/16 inches. Machinists and maintenance technicians reach for this tap when threading small-diameter fastener holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials.

This tap is suited for production and maintenance tapping of 6-32 UNC threads in through-hole configurations. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in, making it well-matched for starting in pre-drilled holes on light-gauge metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, and precision components. The elektraLUBE finish reduces friction during the cut and helps extend tool life in repetitive tapping operations. It fits standard tap handles and machine tool collets sized for small-diameter taps in that thread range.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole tapping
• High-speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose threading operations
• ElektraLUBE coating reduces friction and extends service life
• Plug chamfer provides smooth lead-in for pre-drilled holes
• H2 thread limit for controlled tolerance fit on 6-32 UNC threads
• Compact 2-inch OAL suits tight clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for 6-32 UNC through-hole threading applications in standard tap handles and machine collets compatible with small-diameter taps.

Installation Notes

Installation of this tap is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a calibrated tap handle or CNC tapping head. Always use the correct tap drill size for 6-32 UNC before threading to avoid overloading the flutes. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material even with a coated tap. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the tapping operation to maintain thread alignment.
