Titan Usa TT93268 M16x2 Spiral Point Plug Tap 3 Flute Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA TT93268 is a spiral point plug tap designed for right-hand through-hole threading in metric M16x2 applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features three flutes and a plug chamfer for clean thread engagement from the start of the cut. The D7 thread limit and 6H class of fit make it suitable for standard tolerance metric threading. With an overall length of 3.8125 inches and a thread length of 1.8125 inches, this tap is sized for typical production and maintenance threading operations. It is installed and used by machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance professionals in general-purpose metalworking applications.

This tap is suited for through-hole threading operations in general-purpose materials where a standard M16 coarse-pitch thread is required. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting edge, making it well-matched for use in through-holes where chip evacuation is a priority. It is appropriate for use in manual tapping, drill press, and CNC tapping applications in maintenance, repair, and production environments. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in, balancing starting ease with thread length coverage.

Key Features

• M16x2 metric thread size with 6H class of fit for standard tolerance applications
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, optimizing performance in through-hole threading
• Plug chamfer provides balanced lead-in for general-purpose starting and threading depth
• High-speed steel construction with bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose material compatibility
• D7 thread limit supports standard tap-drill clearance in typical metalworking setups
• Right-hand thread direction; no coolant-through feature — suited for conventional flooded or dry tapping

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose M16x2 metric spiral point plug tap for through-hole threading in standard metalworking applications. No specific machine or material compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping stand, drill press, or CNC machine with synchronized tapping capability. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and that the correct M16 tap drill diameter has been used prior to tapping. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping between uses and do not force a tap that has stopped turning freely.
