It features a plug chamfer for general-purpose starting and a right-hand thread direction. The tap is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, making it suited for moderate-duty threading operations. At 2.125 inches overall length with a 0.38-inch thread length, it fits standard tap handles used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-room operators working on small-diameter threaded fastener applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for hand-tapping operations on a range of workpiece materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. The 4-flute straight-flute configuration provides good thread form and chip control in these materials at the No. 8-36 thread size. It is commonly used in precision assembly, light fabrication, and field repair contexts where a reliable plug-start hand tap is required. The Series 1002 designation identifies this as a standard catalog production tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-36 UNF thread form with plug chamfer for general-purpose hand tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute straight-flute geometry supports consistent thread form in blind and through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit for close-tolerance 2B and 3B class-of-fit threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; compatible with standard tap handles and T-handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or stock hand tap for any application requiring an 8-36 UNF plug-chamfer tap in high-speed steel with an H2 thread limit and 2B or 3B class of fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and operate this tap using a properly sized tap handle or T-handle rated for the No. 8 thread diameter. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material before and during tapping to reduce heat and extend tool life. Back the tap off periodically when tapping blind holes to break chips and prevent tap breakage. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is started perpendicular to the hole to maintain thread alignment and avoid tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-36\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36\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: 2B and 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: 4\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: C54290\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716979392818,"sku":"C54290","price":20.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7eb27c7d42dd1bea88378cb000c8beff.jpg?v=1788534348","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54290-hand-tap-8-36-unf-plug-rh-hss-bright","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
