Made from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap cuts 1\/4-20 UNC right-hand threads and features 4 flutes for efficient chip clearance during hand or machine tapping operations. With a 1-inch thread length and 2.5-inch overall length, it suits light to medium threading tasks in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottoming tap is used in machining, fabrication, and maintenance applications where a preceding taper or plug tap has already started the thread and full thread engagement at the base of a blind hole is needed. Typical users include machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance technicians, and general fabricators working in job shop or production environments. The 1\/4-20 UNC thread form is one of the most common unified coarse thread sizes in North American industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer allows threading to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes provide consistent chip evacuation in through and blind hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers good wear resistance for general-purpose threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid in a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit for standard tolerance threading on 1\/4-20 UNC threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for 1\/4-20 UNC bottoming tap applications in hand tapping, drill press, or CNC tapping operations requiring H2 thread limit tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or trained technician should select the correct tap drill size for a 1\/4-20 UNC thread before use. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound to extend tool life and reduce risk of tap breakage. When tapping blind holes, use a taper or plug tap first to start the thread before switching to this bottoming tap. Back the tap out periodically to break chips and prevent binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\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: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\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\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: MSC-04460218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700639236402,"sku":"MSC-04460218","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/684a13cc0beb3e9eab45ca5dd3fa0c70.jpg?v=1788393135","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04460218-straight-flute-tap-1-4-20","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
