It features a 50-degree helix angle and three right-hand spiral flutes that evacuate chips back through the flute toward the shank, making it well-suited for blind-hole threading applications. The tap is manufactured from high-speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating to improve wear resistance and reduce friction during cutting. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 2B class of fit, it delivers accurate, production-ready threads. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics install this tap by hand or machine in metalworking operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is rated for use in aluminum and carbon steel. The bottoming chamfer style allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it appropriate for applications where full thread depth is required near a hole bottom. It is commonly used in CNC machining centers, manual lathes, and drill press setups where controlled tapping cycles are available. The right-hand thread direction and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional tapping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer allows threading to within a few threads of a blind hole bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50-degree helix angle promotes upward chip evacuation in blind-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in steel and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction withstands elevated cutting temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2B class of fit produces standard tolerance threads for general fastener assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree flutes provide a balance of strength and chip clearance for the 1\/4-20 thread size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for threading aluminum and carbon steel workpieces.

Ensure the spindle or tapping head is powered down and fully stopped before loading or changing the tap. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the material being threaded; dry tapping is not recommended for steel. Verify tap alignment with the drilled hole axis before applying cutting torque to prevent tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.594 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.996 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.255 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.191 inches\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: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\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: 2985605\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747739205938,"sku":"2985605","price":43.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/54a33b0ec734e1a25b40844e6592d146.jpg?v=1788884877","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2985605-spiral-flute-tap-1-4-20-unc-bottoming-tin-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
