SKU CH-SB1T-3GZ1E

A three-piece high-speed steel hand tap set for cutting #6-32 UNC threads with an H3 limit

  • Product typeNumber
  • HSS construction resists wear during repeated threading
  • #6-32 UNC threads fit standard coarse-pitch holes
  • H3 limit ensures precise class-of-fit tolerance
  • 11/16 in thread length reaches deeper holes
  • Three-flute design clears chips for smoother cuts

Three-piece UNC tap set

The Westward hand tap set contains three high-speed steel taps cut to a #6-32 UNC thread with an H3 limit. Each tap measures 2 inches overall with an 11/16 inch thread length and three flutes. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose threading in steel and non-ferrous metals.

H3 limit for consistent fit

The H3 tolerance keeps the finished thread within a tight pitch-diameter band so parts assemble without excessive play or binding. Right-hand cutting direction and three flutes evacuate chips steadily during hand or light machine tapping, reducing the chance of tap breakage under sustained pressure.

Bright HSS withstands repeated use

High-speed steel resists wear when cutting mild steel, aluminium or brass, while the uncoated surface allows easy visual inspection of flank wear. The three-piece package provides a taper, plug and bottoming tap so a single set completes through-holes and blind holes without extra purchases.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the HSS material generate during extended tapping sessions?

High-speed steel dissipates heat effectively during use, and the three-flute design helps clear chips to reduce friction buildup.

What tap wrench size fits the 2-inch overall length and 11/16-inch thread length?

A standard adjustable tap wrench for small fractional taps will accommodate the 2-inch overall length and 11/16-inch thread portion.

Will the H3 limit and UNC threads match the #6-32 fasteners in my older equipment?

The H3 limit and UNC standard are designed for standard #6-32 threads, so they will cut threads compatible with existing #6-32 hardware.
