The Hertel Thread Forming Tap is precision-engineered for creating #2-56 UNC threads with a 2B class of fit. This bottoming chamfer tap is crafted from high-quality high-speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish for optimal performance and durability. With a 7/16" thread length and 1-3/4" overall length (OAL), this tool is designed for professional applications requiring precise thread formation. The H2 thread limit ensures consistent threading results across your projects. Thread forming taps, unlike cutting taps, create threads by displacing material rather than removing it, resulting in stronger threads with improved fatigue resistance. This Hertel tap is ideal for manufacturing environments, maintenance operations, and precision mechanical work where reliable fastening solutions are essential. Perfect for use with softer metals when you need dependable, uniform threads without chip formation.
