Accupro T2690343 Spiral Point Tap 10-32 3 Flutes Plug

Product Description

The ACCUPRO T2690343 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 10-32 unified fine threads in through-hole applications. Built from 3% vanadium high speed steel, this tap delivers increased wear resistance and edge retention compared to standard HSS tools, making it well suited for harder materials including titanium. The bright finish reduces friction during entry and chip evacuation. With a plug chamfer and three flutes, the tool pushes chips ahead of the cutting edge and down through the hole, keeping the thread form clean and reducing the risk of chip packing. It is sized for use in machine tapping operations in production and maintenance environments.

This tap is intended for through-hole tapping in metals, with a specific material application rating for titanium as well as general ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The plug chamfer makes it a standard choice for machine tapping where the tool enters a pre-drilled through hole and exits freely. The right-hand thread direction and 2B class of fit target standard fastener-grade thread tolerances commonly required in manufacturing, machining, and equipment repair work. A licensed machinist or maintenance professional performing threaded insert work, equipment repair, or production tapping would typically reach for this tool.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread form with 2B class of fit for standard fastener-grade tolerances
• 3% vanadium high speed steel construction for improved wear resistance and edge life
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward through the hole, reducing packing in through-hole operations
• Plug chamfer provides a balanced entry lead suitable for most machine tapping setups
• H3 thread limit for consistent sizing across production runs
• Rated for titanium material application in addition to general metalworking stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct sourcing option for spiral point plug taps in the 10-32 thread size, compatible with standard tap holders and machine tapping heads accepting a 4.93 millimeter shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use by machinists and maintenance professionals operating drill presses, CNC machining centers, or tapping machines. Always secure the workpiece and confirm correct tap drill size for 10-32 before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material, particularly when tapping titanium, to reduce heat buildup and extend tool life. Do not attempt to reverse a broken tap without proper extraction tooling, as this can damage the thread form.
