The straight flute configuration provides space for cutting chips and lubricant, with tool selection governed by workpiece material, chip behavior and hole depth. The supplied series is listed for through-hole machine tapping. Overall lengths range from 50 to 88 mm, with shank diameters from 3 to 9 mm. Match the selected tap to the holder, pilot hole and required thread tolerance, and confirm the application before use in blind holes or difficult materials.<\/p>\n<p><!-- PRODUCT SUMMARY --><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; width: 100%; margin: 20px 0 0; padding: 0; border: 1px solid #dbe3ec; border-top: 3px solid #2146B5; background: #f8fafc; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 140px; min-width: 0; padding: 12px 14px; border-right: 1px solid #dbe3ec; border-bottom: 1px solid #dbe3ec; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<p><span style=\"display: block; margin: 0 0 3px; color: #64748b; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;\">Tool Type<\/span><span style=\"display: block; color: #0f172a; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;\">HSS Straight Flute Tap<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 140px; min-width: 0; padding: 12px 14px; border-right: 1px solid #dbe3ec; border-bottom: 1px solid #dbe3ec; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<p><span style=\"display: block; margin: 0 0 3px; color: #64748b; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;\">Thread Standard<\/span><span style=\"display: block; color: #0f172a; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;\">Metric M2\u2013M12<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 140px; min-width: 0; padding: 12px 14px; border-right: 1px solid #dbe3ec; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<p><span style=\"display: block; margin: 0 0 3px; color: #64748b; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;\">Listed Precision<\/span><span style=\"display: block; color: #0f172a; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;\">H2<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 140px; min-width: 0; padding: 12px 14px; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<p><span style=\"display: block; margin: 0 0 3px; color: #64748b; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;\">Application<\/span><span style=\"display: block; color: #0f172a; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;\">Through-Hole Tapping<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===================================================== SECTION 2 \u2014 KEY CONFIGURATION ===================================================== --><\/p>\n<section class=\"hy-tab-section\" style=\"margin-top: 30px !important;\">\n<h3 class=\"hy-section-title\">Key Configuration<\/h3>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 28px; width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;\">\n<p><!-- ITEM 01 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 260px; min-width: 0; margin: 0 0 0 -24px !important; padding: 0 !important; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left !important;\">\n<div style=\"width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0 0 9px 0 !important; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; background: #eef4ff; color: #2146b5; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;\">\u25ce<\/div>\n<div class=\"hy-card-title\" style=\"display: block; width: 100%; margin: 0 0 6px 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; color: #1e293b; text-align: left !important;\">Straight Flute Geometry<\/div>\n<p class=\"hy-card-text\" style=\"display: block; width: 100%; margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; text-align: left !important;\">Straight flutes provide chip space and access for lubricant.
