Accupro T2690325 Spiral Point Tap 10-24 3 Flutes Plug

Product Description

The ACCUPRO T2690325 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting internal threads in through-hole applications. It produces a 10-24 unified coarse thread profile using a plug chamfer, which distributes the cutting load gradually at thread entry. Manufactured from 3% vanadium high speed steel with a bright finish, it offers solid wear resistance for general-purpose tapping. The three-flute spiral point design pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, keeping the flutes clear during operation. With an overall length of 2.38 inches and a 16 mm thread length, this tap is sized for standard hand and machine tapping setups used by machinists and maintenance tradespeople.

This tap is suited for threading through holes in a range of materials, with a specific material application rating for titanium. The H5 thread limit designates a controlled tolerance class appropriate for close-fit fastener applications. It is well suited for production and maintenance tapping in machine shops, industrial maintenance, and fabrication environments. The right-hand thread direction is standard for conventional fastener systems. No coolant-through capability is built in, so external lubrication or cutting fluid should be applied manually during use.

Key Features

• 10-24 unified coarse thread form for standard fastener compatibility
• 3% vanadium high speed steel construction for improved wear resistance over standard HSS
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing chip packing in through-hole tapping
• Plug chamfer with 3 to 5 thread lead for gradual thread entry and reduced torque
• H5 thread limit for controlled tolerance fitment in close-clearance applications
• Bright finish with no coating, suitable for use with cutting oils and standard tapping fluids

Compatibility

Rated for tapping titanium per supplier specifications. The H5 thread limit and 10-24 thread size are compatible with standard 10-24 machine screw fastener systems in through-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed in a tap wrench, tapping head, or CNC rigid-tapping spindle appropriate for the application. Always apply cutting fluid or tapping oil before and during use, particularly when working titanium or hard alloys. Secure the workpiece firmly and align the tap perpendicular to the hole to avoid tap breakage or thread misalignment. Never back-drive a spiral point tap in a blind hole, as it is designed exclusively for through-hole use.
