Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers sharp cutting performance across a broad range of workpiece materials. The plug chamfer style — 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes it the standard choice for most general tapping work where a thread starter tap has already been used or where full thread depth from a through-hole is required. Overall length is 2.125 inches, with a thread length of 0.38 inches and a right-hand thread direction. Class of fit is 2B with an H3 thread limit, meeting standard tolerance requirements for most fastener applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where 8-32 threaded holes are required. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel. The 2-flute straight-flute geometry is well matched to through-hole threading and shorter blind holes where chip evacuation is managed manually or with cutting fluid. It is part of the Cleveland Series 1002 and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread form, right-hand, Class 2B fit with H3 thread limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for general-purpose blind and through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — inspect and resharpen easily\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute straight-flute design for controlled chip formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2.125-inch OAL suits standard tap handles and tapping heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or service tap for 8-32 UNC threaded hole applications in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces.

Always apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Back the tap out periodically to break chips when working blind holes. Never exceed the torque capacity of the tap — 8-32 taps are small-diameter and susceptible to breakage if torque is applied unevenly or if the hole is undersized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 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: 0.25 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\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\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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: C54273\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711769608498,"sku":"C54273","price":20.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4404ada055d6c2f8f251d88c387692fd.jpg?v=1788479416","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54273-hand-tap-8-32-unc-plug-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
