Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable thread-forming performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The plug chamfer provides a gradual cutting action suited for through-hole applications. With an overall length of 2 inches and a thread length of 11\/16 inches, this tap is sized for small-diameter precision threading work. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working with fine-pitch fastener threads will find this tap appropriate for bench, drill press, and CNC tapping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in applications requiring STI (Screw Thread Insert) thread profiles at the 6-40 UNF specification, producing an oversized internal thread that accepts a helical wire insert. Common use cases include thread repair on stripped holes and new construction where Heli-Coil or equivalent insert systems are being installed. The 2-flute design and spiral point geometry push chips ahead of the cut, making this configuration well suited for through-hole tapping in production and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSTI thread profile sized for 6-40 UNF helical wire inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides gradual cutting entry for through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers toughness across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing chip packing in through-hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows direct visual inspection of tap condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit provides controlled pitch diameter tolerance for consistent insert fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in through-hole tapping operations requiring a 6-40 UNF STI thread profile, compatible with standard helical wire thread insert systems at this thread size and pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThreading operations with this tap should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with tap alignment and feed rate requirements. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Ensure the tap is driven square to the workpiece to avoid thread misalignment or tap breakage. Follow the insert manufacturer instructions for the matching drill size required prior to tapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-40 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches (2.13 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 inches (0.393 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.168 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 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: 7007100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743612600626,"sku":"7007100","price":40.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/48b0b2536f7a43fea025db0a3b805866.jpg?v=1788848391","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-7007100-spiral-point-sti-tap-6-40-unf-2-flutes-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
