Value Collection MSC-04506325 Spiral Point Tap 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04506325 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 6-32 UNC internal threads in through-hole applications. It features a plug chamfer style, which distributes cutting load across several leading threads and drives chips forward, making it well suited for production tapping in through holes. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread quality in a wide range of metals and plastics. It carries a 3B class of fit tolerance, appropriate for standard fastener clearances, and an H2 thread limit for controlled oversize. Two flutes provide chip clearance while maintaining tool rigidity at this small diameter.

This tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, repair, and assembly environments where 6-32 UNC threads are required in through-hole workpieces. It is appropriate for use in drill press, CNC, or hand-tapping operations. Common applications include chassis fabrication, electrical enclosure work, light structural assembly, and any trade or manufacturing setting that requires a standard 6-32 threaded hole. The right-hand thread direction is compatible with standard right-hand fasteners. Coolant-through capability is not included on this tap.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread form with right-hand cutting direction
• Plug chamfer style drives chips forward for efficient through-hole tapping
• High speed steel construction provides durability across common workpiece materials
• H2 thread limit and 3B class of fit for standard fastener tolerance requirements
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use without added coating cost
• 2-flute design balances chip clearance and rigidity at small tap diameters

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production tap for any application requiring 6-32 UNC internal threads in through-hole workpieces with a 3B class of fit.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by a machinist or qualified technician using appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material. Ensure the tap is properly aligned perpendicular to the workpiece surface before starting to avoid tap breakage at this small diameter. Use a tap wrench, drill press, or CNC tapping cycle as appropriate, and follow standard speeds for HSS taps in the material being cut. Back the tap out periodically in manual operations to break and clear chips.
