Value Collection JY4836805 Straight Flute Tap 6-80 Uns

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4836805 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting 6-80 UNS internal threads in a range of materials. With a plug chamfer and 3 flutes, this tap is suited for through-hole and open-end tapping applications where chips can evacuate freely in the direction of tool travel. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it delivers reliable thread-cutting performance without added coating cost. The H2 thread limit supports standard 3B class of fit tolerances, making it appropriate for general-purpose fastener threads in precision assemblies. Overall length is 2 inches.

This tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and production environments where 6-80 UNS threads are required in metal workpieces. The plug chamfer style makes it a common choice for starting threads in through holes or finishing in applications where a bottoming tap is not needed. It is well suited for use in manual tapping, drill press, and CNC tapping operations performed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with fine-pitch miniature threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 6-80 UNS thread form for fine-pitch miniature thread cutting
• Plug chamfer for easy thread starting in through holes
• 3-flute design promotes chip clearance in straight-flute tapping
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use
• H2 thread limit holds 3B class of fit tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock straight flute tap for applications requiring 6-80 UNS right-hand internal threads with a 3B class of fit.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by qualified machinists or technicians using appropriate tapping fluid to reduce friction and extend tool life. Ensure workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the cut. For power tapping, verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the material and tap size before engaging. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if thread quality degrades.
