Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tap cuts a 5-40 UNC right-hand thread to a 2B class of fit. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward through the hole, reducing chip packing and maintaining clean thread formation. With an overall length of 1.93 inches and a shank diameter of 0.14 inches, the 2886505 fits standard tap holders used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and toolroom professionals working on small-diameter fastener threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole threading in low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and aluminum. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual lead-in over several threads, making it appropriate for starting threads from scratch in a pre-drilled hole. It is commonly used in light manufacturing, equipment maintenance, and precision assembly work where 5-40 UNC fastener threads are required. The 2-flute design keeps the tap profile compact, which is especially useful in the small diameter range this tool occupies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward for clean through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction handles low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides gradual thread lead-in for new hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2B class of fit meets standard tolerance requirements for general-purpose fastener threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction matches standard 5-40 UNC fastener orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading applications requiring a 5-40 UNC thread form in low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and aluminum workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachinists and maintenance technicians should use the correct tap drill size for a 5-40 UNC thread before starting. Apply cutting fluid or tapping oil appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Secure the workpiece firmly and use a calibrated tap handle or tapping head to maintain axial alignment and avoid tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating drilling and tapping equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.93 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.322 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.296 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 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: 287\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel, Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 2886505\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728532013362,"sku":"2886505","price":31.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0d2ba2d32c7346c9a592160d8b8f73e.jpg?v=1788692837","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2886505-spiral-point-tap-5-40-unc-2-flute-tin-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
