Westward 2LWK3 Straight Flute Hand Tap 3/4"-10 UNC Plug 4 Flutes

SKU CH-2WBF-3AW9Y

Cuts 3/4"-10 UNC threads with a straight-flute plug tap made from high-speed steel

  • TypeHole, Drill, Bore & Wire Gauges
  • Straight-flute design clears chips efficiently in through-holes
  • Plug chamfer starts threads smoothly for general-purpose tapping
  • Four flutes balance strength and chip evacuation
  • High-speed steel construction resists wear in steel and cast iron
  • Bright uncoated finish suits non-ferrous and low-carbon materials

Thread-Cutting Tap for 3/4"-10 UNC

This Westward straight-flute hand tap cuts internal threads in a 3/4 inch diameter hole with ten threads per inch. It is sized for the UNC coarse-pitch series and made from high-speed steel. The tool suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to create or repair threads by hand.

Plug Chamfer for Starting Threads

The plug chamfer provides a moderate lead that helps the tap start squarely in a drilled hole. Four flutes give a balance of chip clearance and cutting strength in materials such as mild steel and aluminium. The H5 thread limit produces a class 2B fit for standard assemblies.

Right-Hand Cutting with Two-Inch Thread Length

The tap cuts right-hand threads over a two-inch length within an overall length of four and a quarter inches. The bright uncoated finish works well in general-purpose applications. It does not serve left-hand thread requirements or through-holes that need a bottoming chamfer.

Questions about this item

What does the 3/4"-10 UNC thread size mean when I use this tap?

It cuts a coarse right-hand thread with a three-quarter-inch major diameter and ten threads per inch, matching standard UNC fasteners.

How does the H5 thread limit affect the fit of the finished thread?

H5 places the pitch diameter five increments above basic size, giving a slightly looser fit for easier assembly or plating allowance.

What shank and square dimensions does this tap need in a holder?

The straight-flute blank follows standard USCTI dimensions for a 3/4" UNC tap, fitting common tap wrenches and CNC holders.
