Osg 2006500 Spiral Point Tap 10-24 Unc 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The OSG 2006500 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 10-24 UNC internal threads in a wide range of materials. It features a 2-flute, plug chamfer geometry with a right-hand thread direction, making it well suited for through-hole tapping operations where chips are pushed forward ahead of the cutting edge. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright finish, this tap carries a Thread Limit of H4 and measures 2.375 inches in overall length. It is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals in production and repair applications.

This tap is appropriate for use in both manual and machine tapping setups across light industrial, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The plug chamfer provides a gradual thread lead-in that distributes cutting forces across several threads, reducing the chance of tap breakage in moderate-to-hard materials. The 10-24 UNC thread form is a common fastener standard in machine assembly, sheet metal, and fixture work.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread form with right-hand cutting direction
• 2-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward for efficient through-hole tapping
• Plug chamfer for balanced lead-in and cutting force distribution
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a broad material range
• Bright finish, no coolant-through required
• H4 thread limit for controlled tolerance fit

Compatibility

Designed for tapping 10-24 UNC threads in aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, hardened steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping head, or CNC machine with appropriate speed and feed settings for the workpiece material. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for 10-24 UNC before beginning the tapping operation. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the material being tapped to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting performance degrades.
