Osg 2006600 Spiral Point Tap 10-24 Unc 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The OSG 2006600 is a spiral point plug tap designed for threading 10-24 UNC holes in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright finish, it features 2 flutes and a plug chamfer that pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting threads, making it well suited for through-hole tapping operations. The H5 thread limit provides a slightly oversized thread to account for material spring-back, delivering consistent thread fits across production runs. With an overall length of 2.375 inches and a thread length of 0.875 inches, this tap fits standard tap holders and machine spindles used in general machining environments.

The 2006600 is used in job shop, maintenance, and light manufacturing settings where 10-24 UNC threads are tapped in through-hole applications. Its right-hand cut and plug chamfer make it a practical choice for both manual tapping and CNC or drill press operations. The broad material compatibility spans aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, and hardened steel, giving machinists and maintenance technicians a single tap that handles most common workpiece materials on the bench or in the machine.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread form with right-hand cutting direction
• Plug chamfer pushes chips forward — optimized for through-hole tapping
• H5 thread limit with oversize classification for consistent thread fit after spring-back
• High-speed steel construction with bright finish for general-purpose durability
• 2-flute design compatible with standard tap holders and machine spindles
• Rated for use in aluminum, cast iron, low-, medium-, and high-carbon steel, and hardened steel

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole tapping of 10-24 UNC threads; compatible with standard tap holders and chucks sized for a 0.194-inch shank diameter. Suitable for manual, drill press, and CNC tapping applications across the listed material types.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with tapping operations. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before engagement. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not apply excessive torque; back the tap out periodically to clear chips when hand tapping.
