Value Collection JY63328496 6-32 Unc Plug Hand Tap

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY63328496 is a 6-32 UNC hand tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal and other materials by hand. It features a plug chamfer with 3 right-hand flutes and is ground to an H3 thread limit for consistent, accurate thread form. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright finish, this tap delivers reliable cutting performance and resists wear under normal tapping conditions. The overall length of 6 inches provides sufficient reach for most standard hand-tapping applications. It is sold individually and is suitable for use with a standard tap wrench.

This tap is intended for threading 6-32 UNC holes in light to medium-duty machining and maintenance applications. The plug chamfer style makes it suitable for use in through-holes or when starting threads in a pre-drilled hole where some lead-in is acceptable. Typical applications include machine assembly, repair work, and fabrication tasks where hand tapping is required. The H3 thread limit is appropriate for general-purpose Class 3B fits commonly specified in mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread form with H3 thread limit for consistent Class 3B fit tolerance
• Plug chamfer provides controlled thread lead-in for through-hole and open-hole tapping
• 3 right-hand flutes for efficient chip evacuation during hand tapping
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright finish suitable for general-purpose tapping applications
• 6-inch overall length accommodates standard hand tap wrench setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tap for use with standard tap wrenches sized for small-shank taps. Fits 6-32 UNC thread specifications and is compatible with pre-drilled clearance holes sized for 6-32 threads per standard UNC tap drill charts.

Installation Notes

This tap is designed for use with a hand tap wrench and should not be used in a power driver or CNC spindle. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for 6-32 UNC threads before beginning. Apply cutting oil or tapping fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Back off the tap periodically to break chips and prevent binding, especially in blind holes.
