The GH3 tolerance designates a ground thread with a +0.0005 to +0.0015 in. pitch diameter oversize range, making it suitable for threading through-holes in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials where chips are pushed ahead of the tap rather than backed out. The 2-flute (2FC) design and left-hand cut are intended for reverse-rotation tapping operations, left-hand threaded fastener applications, or use on CNC machines with left-hand spindle rotation; the 6H3 designation further confirms Class 6H tolerance to ISO metric\/ANSI standards for the thread form. This tap accepts a standard square-drive tap wrench or machine holder with a 6 in. overall length shank appropriate for extension holders, and it is made in the USA as stamped on the shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:12px;font-size:16px;color:#56555b;border-bottom:2px solid #85c94f;padding-bottom:6px;\"\u003eProduct
