Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread cutting performance in a range of common shop metals. It features a taper chamfer, which distributes cutting load across the first 8 to 10 threads to ease entry and reduce breakage risk. With 4 flutes and an H3 thread limit, it produces Class 3B fit threads suitable for close-tolerance fastener applications. Overall length is 3-13\/16 inches with a thread length of 1-13\/16 inches. It weighs 0.18 pounds. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for general-purpose threading operations in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The 5\/8-11 UNC thread form is one of the most common unified coarse thread sizes, used extensively in structural fastening, machinery assembly, and equipment repair. The taper chamfer makes this tap a good choice for starting threads in open setups, whether run by hand with a tap wrench or driven under power in a drill press or tapping machine with appropriate speed and feed control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 UNC thread form for one of the most common coarse-thread fastener sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer distributes cutting load across entry threads for easier starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit produces Class 3B fit for close-tolerance threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides toughness across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute design offers good chip clearance in standard through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating variables to account for in speed and feed selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, standard for UNC fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or stock tap for any application requiring a 5\/8-11 UNC Class 3B internal thread.

Use a cutting fluid or tapping compound appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. When tapping by hand, reverse the tap periodically to break chips. Power tapping setups should use a torque-limiting or floating tap holder to prevent overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-11\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: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\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: 1-13\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-13\/16 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: 0.18 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-04476131\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695667478834,"sku":"MSC-04476131","price":31.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0783a69b597b698a0074e6538eb0c700.jpg?v=1788337272","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04476131-straight-flute-tap-5-8-11","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
