About Union Butterfield 1534NE(UNC) High-Speed Steel
The Union Butterfield 1534NE(UNC)/1534NE(UNF) uncoated, high-speed steel spiral point tap has a non-relieved design, straight flutes, and an extended round shank with a square end, and is used to create right-hand threads in a range of materials. It is available in two different ANSI thread specification standards: UNC (Unified Coarse) and UNF (Unified Fine). The spiral point of this tap (sometimes referred to as a “gun tap”) pushes chips ahead of the tool and the straight flutes reduce clogging. Both characteristics make it suitable for threading through holes (extending through the workpiece). The non-relieved design has concentric threads without pitch diameter relief. It is recommended for applications requiring close gauging fits and in older equipment or manual feed rate applications where the feed rate control is not sufficient for a relieved-style tap. The extra-long shank of this tool is designed for extended reach. The plug chamfer distributes cutting to ease tapping at the beginning of the hole and to maintain correct perpendicular alignment with the workpiece. Right-hand threads are designed to tighten when a head or nut is rotated clockwise (the most common threading direction). High-speed steel (HSS) is a common general-purpose steel for cutting tools and is compatible with a variety of materials. With no coating or surface treatment, this uncoated tool can be used on a broad range of materials and provide an economical alternative to coated tools. The round shank with square end helps to minimize rotation in the tool holder. This tool can be used in machines, such as drill presses or lathes, or with hand tools such as tap wrenches. In the Union Butterfield 1534NE(UNC) tap series, machine-screw sizes 4 to 10 and nominal diameters 1/4” to 5/16” have two flutes, and 3/8” to 1/2” have three flutes. In the 1534NE(UNF) series, machine-screw size 10 and nominal diameters 1/4” to 5/16” have two flutes, and 3/8” to 1/2” have three flutes. All
