Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright\/uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread-cutting performance in production and maintenance applications. The plug chamfer style provides 3 to 5 thread lead-in, making it suitable for through-hole and moderately deep blind-hole threading. With 3 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, the tap clears chips effectively during hand tapping and machine tapping operations. Overall length is 2 inches with a thread length of 11\/16 inches. The H1 thread limit provides close-tolerance control for precision threaded assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading fine-pitch 6-40 UNF holes in light-duty fastener applications, instrument components, and small mechanical assemblies. The 6-40 UNF thread form is common in precision work where a finer pitch than 6-32 UNC is required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die workers will encounter this size in instrumentation, electronics enclosures, and small fixture fabrication. It performs well in drill-press, tapping-arm, and hand-tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-40 UNF thread form with right-hand direction for standard fine-pitch applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish for general-purpose use without specialized coating requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (3 to 5 thread lead) for use in through holes and moderately deep blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH1 thread limit for controlled tolerance in precision threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 flutes promote chip evacuation during tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or stock tap for applications requiring 6-40 UNF internal threads in through-hole or blind-hole configurations.

Use the correct tap drill size for a 6-40 UNF thread and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Back off periodically during hand tapping to break and clear chips. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use to avoid thread damage or tap breakage in the bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-40 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: MSC-04426409\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701556445490,"sku":"MSC-04426409","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c4b9795f355c4ef8a1f7389a81615ff7.jpg?v=1788401431","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04426409-6-40-unf-straight-flute-tap-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
