Value Collection JY4846077 Hand Tap 5/8-14 Uns Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4846077 is a straight-flute hand tap designed for cutting right-hand internal threads in a wide range of materials. It features a 5/8-14 UNS thread form with a plug chamfer, making it well suited for through-hole and moderate blind-hole tapping applications. Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable cutting performance across production and maintenance environments. The 4-flute design provides stable thread engagement and good chip control during hand or machine tapping. Overall length is 3-13/16 inches. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users of this tap.

This tap is intended for creating 5/8-14 UNS right-hand internal threads. The plug chamfer, which features a moderate lead-in of several threads, makes it appropriate for starting threads in through holes and for continued threading in blind holes once a taper tap has started the thread. It is commonly used in general metalworking, maintenance and repair operations, and light production threading where a Class 3B fit with an H3 thread limit is specified. No coolant-through feature is present, so flood or manual lubrication is standard practice.

Key Features

• 5/8-14 UNS thread form with right-hand cutting direction
• Plug chamfer for versatile through-hole and blind-hole threading
• High speed steel construction for durability in general metalworking
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• 4-flute straight-flute design for stable thread engagement and chip clearance
• Class 3B fit, H3 thread limit for precise tolerance threading

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hand tap for use in any application requiring a 5/8-14 UNS Class 3B internal thread with a right-hand helix.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or tapping fixture. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before beginning. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and back off the tap periodically to break chips. Do not force the tap if resistance increases, as high speed steel taps can fracture under excessive torque.
