Ground from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent thread form across a wide range of workpiece materials. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 lead threads — allows the tap to start easily in a pre-drilled hole and is the go-to choice for most general tapping work. With a 3B class of fit and an H2 thread limit, this tap produces threads suited to standard tolerance applications where reliable fastener engagement is required. It is sized for use with a standard tap wrench or tapping fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited to production and maintenance machining environments where 8-32 UNC threads are common. It performs in blind-hole and through-hole applications on alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians reach for this style of tap when hand-tapping or running low-speed machine tapping operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread form with plug chamfer for general-purpose hand tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across steel, aluminum, and stainless applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3B class of fit with H2 thread limit for standard tolerance threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute straight flute design for chip clearance in both blind and through-hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, compatible with standard tap wrenches and tapping fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 8-32 UNC threads in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces in blind-hole and through-hole configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should select the correct tap drill size for 8-32 UNC threads before beginning. Secure the workpiece fully before tapping and apply a cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material. For hand tapping, use a properly fitting tap wrench and back off the tap periodically to break chips, especially in blind holes. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use — a damaged tap can seize in the hole or produce out-of-tolerance threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32\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: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright, Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.380 inches (19.05 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.168 inches (4.27 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.131 inches (3.33 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Free-Machining Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C54264\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692355289394,"sku":"C54264","price":22.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/38e81fcfebd20b6f7408c188418dd500.jpg?v=1788296706","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54264-hand-tap-8-32-unc-plug-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
