Irwin #6-32 Machine Screw Tap
This Irwin carbon-steel tap cuts National Coarse #6-32 threads for routine maintenance and repair work. It produces a Class 2B fit where high-precision tolerances are not critical. The tool is intended for hand threading across a variety of materials.
Thread capacity and chip clearance
Straight flutes ground into the body give rapid chip removal during each cutting pass. The design handles standard machine-screw threading tasks but is not suited for high-accuracy production runs. A #36 or 3/32 inch drill bit prepares the correct hole size.
Hand-operation feel and durability
Carbon-steel construction resists wear during occasional rethreading jobs. Hand-powered use keeps torque low and reduces the risk of tap breakage in softer metals. The tap requires cutting fluid to manage heat and extend tool life.
