Thread cutting tool for UNC threads

The Westward 2LWP4 is a straight flute hand tap designed to cut 3/4"-10 UNC internal threads. It suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to create new threads or repair damaged ones in through-holes or blind holes using hand tools or a tap wrench.

Easy to start with a tap wrench

The straight flute design clears chips forward, making it straightforward to use in a wide range of materials. Bottoming taps have a short lead, so they require a pre-drilled hole of the correct depth; starting the tap crooked or forcing it without lubrication are the most common causes of breakage.

Cuts 3/4"-10 UNC threads to H5 limit

The 2-inch thread length on a 4 1/4-inch overall body provides reach for standard hole depths. High-speed steel construction handles carbon steel and similar alloys, while the H5 pitch diameter limit ensures a standard class of fit; it is not intended for high-volume production tapping or very hard materials.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 3/4"-10 UNC threads are cut correctly after using this bottoming tap?

Check that threads reach the full 2-inch thread length in a blind hole and gauge the fit with a matching 3/4"-10 UNC bolt or thread gauge.

What comes with the Westward 2LWP4 tap and what must I supply separately?

The package contains the single high-speed steel straight-flute tap; you must provide a tap wrench, cutting fluid, and the correctly sized drill bit for the pilot hole.

When should I choose this H5 limit bottoming tap over other thread limits or chamfer styles?

Select this H5 bottoming tap when cutting threads to the bottom of a blind hole in general-purpose materials where a standard fit class is required.
