HAND TAPS MACHINE 3/16 UNF
The 3/16 inch UNF hand tap has a nominal diameter of 0.1875 inches and a thread pitch of 24 threads per inch TPI, following the Unified National Fine UNF standard. This tap features a 60-degree thread angle, designed for creating precise and high-quality threads. It is typically made from high-speed steel HSS with high wear resistance. The overall length of the tool ranges between 40 to 60 millimeters, and its square shank is designed for easy fitting into a tap wrench. This tap is suitable for use in both soft and hard metals with excellent dimensional accuracy.
This type of tap is widely used in automotive and aerospace industries due to its fine UNF thread standard and precision. The recommended drill size for the pilot hole is 4.2 millimeters, ensuring optimal engagement between the thread and workpiece. The suggested manual operating speed ranges from 15 to 20 revolutions per minute. The 3/16 inch UNF tap performs efficiently in repair and manufacturing operations requiring fine and delicate threads.
