Thread cutting tool for UNC threads
The Westward 2LWP4 is a straight flute hand tap designed to cut 3/4"-10 UNC internal threads. It suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to create new threads or repair damaged ones in through-holes or blind holes using hand tools or a tap wrench.
Easy to start with a tap wrench
The straight flute design clears chips forward, making it straightforward to use in a wide range of materials. Bottoming taps have a short lead, so they require a pre-drilled hole of the correct depth; starting the tap crooked or forcing it without lubrication are the most common causes of breakage.
Cuts 3/4"-10 UNC threads to H5 limit
The 2-inch thread length on a 4 1/4-inch overall body provides reach for standard hole depths. High-speed steel construction handles carbon steel and similar alloys, while the H5 pitch diameter limit ensures a standard class of fit; it is not intended for high-volume production tapping or very hard materials.
