It produces internal threads without cutting chips by displacing and cold-forming the workpiece material, which results in stronger thread forms and eliminates the risk of chip contamination in blind bores. The tap features a bottoming chamfer with 2.5 chamfered threads, allowing thread engagement close to the bottom of a hole. Built from powdered metal high-speed steel and finished with a Bal-Plus coating, the 12092-91L is suited for production environments where tool life and thread quality matter. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is engineered for the BXDIECAST series application, specifically targeting die cast aluminum components requiring 10-24 UNC threads to a 2B class of fit. The bottoming chamfer style makes it ideal for blind holes where full thread depth near the bottom of the bore is required. With an H5 thread limit, it maintains tight dimensional control appropriate for precision assemblies. It is well suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping heads in production and job-shop environments working with die cast aluminum parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming design eliminates chips, reducing contamination risk in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer with 2.5 chamfered threads for threading close to the bottom of blind bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowdered metal high-speed steel construction for improved wear resistance and toughness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBal-Plus coating enhances lubricity and extends tool life in die cast aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit provides precise dimensional control for 2B class of fit requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle oil groove design supports lubrication during the forming process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole threading in die cast aluminum applications per the BXDIECAST series designation, producing 10-24 UNC right-hand internal threads to a 2B class of fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require adequate lubrication or cutting fluid rated for the workpiece material  -  use a lubricant appropriate for aluminum when running this tap in die cast aluminum. Power down and de-energize any CNC machine or tapping equipment before installing or changing tooling. Use the correct tap holder and ensure proper alignment to avoid tap breakage; thread forming taps are sensitive to misalignment due to the forming forces involved. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and manufacturer recommendations for spindle speed and feed rate based on the workpiece material and hole depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.194 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.152 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Powdered Metal High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bal-Plus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Die Cast Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BXDIECAST\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BALAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12092-91L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51983052538162,"sku":"12092-91L","price":62.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d16cdda71643095b855586cbc8758b6e.jpg?v=1789983467","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-12092-91l-thread-forming-tap-10-24-unc-bottoming","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
