Value Collection JY4846176 Straight Flute Tap 5/8-24 Unef

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4846176 is a straight flute tap designed to cut 5/8-24 UNEF internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap is suited for through-hole and blind-hole threading in general machining applications. The plug chamfer provides a gradual thread lead-in, making it well-suited for both through-holes and moderately deep blind holes. With an overall length of 3.8125 inches and an H3 thread limit, it delivers consistent tolerance control across production runs. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians rely on this style of tap for standard bench and CNC threading work.

This tap is intended for use in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and general manufacturing environments where 5/8-24 UNEF threads are required. The 4-flute straight flute design provides stability and chip clearance during tapping operations in softer to medium-hardness materials. Right-hand threading direction follows standard UNEF specifications. Typical applications include threading fixtures, tooling components, and precision assemblies where a fine unified thread pitch is required.

Key Features

• 5/8-24 UNEF thread form for fine-pitch unified external thread engagement
• 4 straight flutes for stable cutting action and chip clearance
• Plug chamfer for versatile use in through-holes and shallow blind holes
• High-speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose threading tasks
• H3 thread limit for consistent tolerance control in production environments
• Bright uncoated finish for straightforward inspection and compatibility with common cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard tap holders, tapping heads, and CNC rigid tapping setups that accept 5/8-24 UNEF straight flute taps with a plug chamfer profile.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is properly aligned with the pilot hole before beginning the threading operation. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to extend tool life and reduce the risk of tap breakage. Power down or de-energize any machine tool before changing or inspecting the tap.
