The SOMTA 5512542 – 1” HSS Second (Intermediate) Short Hand Tap is a robust, precision-engineered tool designed for general-purpose hand tapping in heavy-duty applications. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) and built to ISO 529 standards, this tap forms Unified Fine (UNF) threads with a 60o flank angle and ISO 2 / 2B tolerance. Its straight flute design provides effective chip removal, while the right-hand cutting direction ensures smooth manual tapping.
