Value Collection MSC-81137788 Spiral Point Tap 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-81137788 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 6-32 UNC internal threads in through-hole applications. Also called a gun tap, the spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cut rather than packing them in the flutes, making it well suited for through-hole threading in metal workpieces. The tap is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and is ground to an H7 thread limit for consistent fit and dimensional accuracy. At 2 inches overall length with a plug chamfer, it is a standard choice for general-purpose threading work in machine shops and production environments.

This tap is intended for through-hole threading operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where chip ejection is a priority. The plug chamfer style provides a moderate lead-in, typically 3 to 5 threads, making it appropriate for most standard through-hole machine tapping setups. It is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and manufacturing professionals working on assemblies, fixtures, and equipment requiring 6-32 UNC fastener threads. The right-hand thread direction aligns with standard 6-32 UNC fastener specifications.

Key Features

• Spiral point (gun tap) geometry pushes chips forward for reliable through-hole tapping
• 6-32 UNC thread form with right-hand thread direction
• H7 thread limit for consistent dimensional accuracy and fit
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of metal workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer provides moderate lead-in suitable for general-purpose through-hole applications
• Bright, uncoated finish with 2-flute design and 2 inches overall length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for machine tapping operations requiring 6-32 UNC right-hand internal threads in through-hole workpieces.

Installation Notes

Spiral point taps should be installed in a tapping head, CNC machine, or drill press with a synchronized feed appropriate for the thread pitch. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and that the correct cutting fluid or tapping compound is applied for the workpiece material. Always verify spindle alignment before operation to prevent tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements when operating tapping equipment.
