It carries an M3.5x0.6 thread profile and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), providing the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The plug chamfer — 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes this tap suitable for starting in a hole and continuing through most of its depth, fitting the most common general-purpose tapping scenario. Overall length is 2 inches with a thread length of 0.6875 inches (11\/16 inches). Three flutes provide cutting edges and chip relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in maintenance, repair, and production environments where M3.5x0.6 metric coarse internal threads are required. Typical applications include threading pilot holes in machinery components, brackets, enclosures, and assemblies across HVAC equipment, electrical panels, pump housings, and general fabrication. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly use this size when working with small fastener hardware in metric equipment. The 6H class of fit produces a standard tolerance internal thread compatible with a 6g class external thread, the default pairing for most commercial metric fastener assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3.5x0.6 metric coarse thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for hardness and durability across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides 3 to 5 lead threads for easy starting and general-purpose through and blind-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6H class of fit produces a standard tolerance thread paired with 6g external fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eD4 thread limit for controlled oversize to account for material springback\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, standard for the vast majority of fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose straight flute tap for cutting M3.5x0.6 metric coarse internal threads in workpieces suitable for hand or machine tapping without coolant-through requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTapping operations should be performed by a machinist or qualified technician using a calibrated tap handle or tapping head. Always drill the correct tap drill size before threading and ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Reverse the tap periodically to break chips when working in blind holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3.5x0.6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6875 inches (11\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: JY4991402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690733961522,"sku":"JY4991402","price":15.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6eb783e12dd5f8e81a202b313c097cc1.jpg?v=1788274612","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-jy4991402-m3-5x0-6-tap-3-flute-hss-6h","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
