HSS 1 13/16"-16 UN Machine Plug Tap, 1 13/16 Inch - 16 Thread Per Inch Right Hand Threading Tool, High Speed Steel Straight Flute Tap for Industrial Metalworking and Machine Repair, 1-Piece

This HSS 1 13/16"-16 UN Machine Tap is a professional-grade threading tool designed for large-scale industrial applications. Featuring a precision-ground 16 Thread Per Inch pitch, this tap is essential for maintaining heavy equipment, automotive restoration, or custom metal fabrication where specific Unified (UN) thread standards are required. The tool is constructed from industrial-grade High Speed Steel, ensuring it remains sharp and effective when working with various metal types. Its straight flute configuration is versatile for many workshop tasks, allowing for clean, accurate threads in both maintenance and production environments. Whether you are cleaning out debris from an existing female thread or tapping a new hole in a machined component, this tool provides the accuracy required for professional engineering results.

• Precision 1 13/16"-16 UN Threading: Specifically engineered for creating or restoring internal threads with a 1.8125-inch diameter and a pitch of 16 Thread Per Inch. Ideal for specialized industrial machinery and heavy-duty fasteners.
• Industrial High Speed Steel Construction: Manufactured from HSS (High Speed Steel) to provide the necessary hardness and heat resistance for threading through carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and aluminum.
• Versatile Plug Tap Geometry: Features a 3 to 5-thread chamfer lead, making it suitable for both through-holes and blind holes. The straight flute design ensures efficient chip evacuation during the cutting process.
• Standard Right-Hand Cut: Designed for traditional right-hand (RH) threading operations. Precision-ground threads deliver an accurate fit that meets standard industrial tolerances for mechanical assemblies.
• Machine and Manual Compatibility: Built for use in tapping machines, drill presses, and lathes. The round shank with a square end provides a secure, non-slip fit in standard tap chucks and large tap wrenches.
