Thread Cutting Tool for Precision Holes
The Widia Gtd VTSFT-TC5131 is a spiral flute tap designed to cut internal threads in metal components. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need accurate #4-40 UNJC threads in through-holes or blind holes.
Critical Specification Is the #4-40 UNJC Thread
This tap cuts a #4-40 UNJC thread with a 3B class of fit and H3 thread limit. The 75 percent thread drill size is 2.20 mm. Using an incorrect drill diameter or thread standard will produce oversize or undersize threads that reject the mating fastener.
Straightforward Installation With Common Pitfalls
The tap features a bottoming chamfer and two flutes made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. Overall length is 1 7/8 in and thread length is 33/64 in. Apply cutting fluid, maintain alignment, and reverse frequently to clear chips; forcing the tap or running dry often leads to breakage or poor thread quality.
