It features a plug chamfer for standard production threading and is manufactured from 3% vanadium high speed steel, which provides improved wear resistance and edge retention compared to standard M2 HSS. The H3 thread limit and 3B class of fit make it suitable for general-purpose threading tolerances. With 2 flutes and a spiral point geometry, it pushes chips ahead of the tap and down through the hole, keeping the flute area clear during cutting. Overall length is 2.72 inches (69.06 mm) with a 22 mm thread length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for through-hole threading operations in aluminum and similar non-ferrous materials. The spiral point design performs best in CNC tapping centers, drill presses, and production tapping machines where consistent feed rates can be maintained. The bright finish is well suited for use with aluminum, reducing galling and built-up edge on the cutting faces. Right-hand thread direction matches standard right-hand fastener applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward through the hole, reducing clogging in through-hole operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3% vanadium high speed steel construction for improved toughness and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides a balance between starting ease and thread engagement length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and 3B class of fit for standard general-purpose thread tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright finish suitable for aluminum machining applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, no coolant-through required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole tapping of 5\/16-24 UNF threads in aluminum.

Ensure the through-hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for 5\/16-24 before threading. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for aluminum to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Never reverse a spiral point tap under power without confirming the machine is programmed for synchronized retraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3% Vanadium High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.72 inches (69.06 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.08 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: T2670463\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728608428338,"sku":"T2670463","price":39.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/79afb3b22f71481e9a3e400c21ffd4de.jpg?v=1788693914","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-t2670463-spiral-point-tap-5-16-24-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
