- TypeNumber
- HSS construction resists wear during repeated threading
- #6-32 UNC threads fit standard coarse-pitch holes
- H3 limit ensures precise class-of-fit tolerance
- 11/16 in thread length reaches deeper holes
- Three-flute design clears chips for smoother cuts
Three-piece UNC tap set
The Westward hand tap set contains three high-speed steel taps cut to a #6-32 UNC thread with an H3 limit. Each tap measures 2 inches overall with an 11/16 inch thread length and three flutes. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose threading in steel and non-ferrous metals.
H3 limit for consistent fit
The H3 tolerance keeps the finished thread within a tight pitch-diameter band so parts assemble without excessive play or binding. Right-hand cutting direction and three flutes evacuate chips steadily during hand or light machine tapping, reducing the chance of tap breakage under sustained pressure.
Bright HSS withstands repeated use
High-speed steel resists wear when cutting mild steel, aluminium or brass, while the uncoated surface allows easy visual inspection of flank wear. The three-piece package provides a taper, plug and bottoming tap so a single set completes through-holes and blind holes without extra purchases.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the HSS material generate during extended tapping sessions?
High-speed steel dissipates heat effectively during use, and the three-flute design helps clear chips to reduce friction buildup.
What tap wrench size fits the 2-inch overall length and 11/16-inch thread length?
A standard adjustable tap wrench for small fractional taps will accommodate the 2-inch overall length and 11/16-inch thread portion.
Will the H3 limit and UNC threads match the #6-32 fasteners in my older equipment?
The H3 limit and UNC standard are designed for standard #6-32 threads, so they will cut threads compatible with existing #6-32 hardware.
