Accupro T2690345 Spiral Point Tap 10-32 3 Flutes Plug

Product Description

The ACCUPRO T2690345 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 10-32 unified fine threads in through-hole applications. Manufactured from vanadium high speed steel with a bright finish, this plug chamfer tap drives chips forward ahead of the cutting action, reducing clogging and allowing continuous feed in machine tapping operations. It features 3 flutes, an H5 thread limit for controlled tolerance fits, and a right-hand thread direction. With an overall length of 2.375 inches and a thread length of 16 millimeters, it is sized for standard production and maintenance tapping tasks. This tap is rated for use in titanium and similar difficult-to-machine materials.

The T2690345 is suited for through-hole tapping in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand tapping fixtures in production or maintenance environments. Its plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in that is appropriate for starting threads in open-ended holes. The H5 thread limit makes it a practical choice when close thread tolerances are required. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working with titanium, steel, and comparable workpiece materials will find this tap a reliable fit for 10-32 thread requirements.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry drives chips forward for efficient through-hole tapping
• Vanadium high speed steel construction for durability in titanium and hard materials
• Plug chamfer for gradual thread lead-in in open-ended holes
• H5 thread limit for controlled, close-tolerance thread fits
• Right-hand cutting direction, standard for 10-32 UNF applications
• Bright finish with no coating for straightforward inspection and regrinding

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production tap for 10-32 unified fine thread through-hole applications in machining operations involving titanium and similar materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician using appropriate tapping fluids or cutting oil suitable for the workpiece material. Secure the workpiece fully before tapping and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole to prevent tap breakage. Power down and de-energize any machine tool before changing or setting tooling. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when operating tapping equipment.
