Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent thread quality across a range of workpiece materials. The plug chamfer features 3 to 5 lead threads, making it well suited for starting threads in pre-drilled holes and for general production and maintenance work. With a 4-flute design and H3 thread limit, this tap produces Class 2B and 3B thread fits to standard tolerances. Overall length is 2.375 inches, with a 0.500-inch thread length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals working on general metalworking applications. It handles blind hole threading and through-hole threading, making it a practical choice for both job shop and production environments. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel. The Series 1002 designation places it in Cleveland's standard hand tap line, a common choice for manual tapping operations on the bench or in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-24 UNC thread form with H3 thread limit for Class 2B and 3B fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style for starting threads in pre-drilled blind or through-holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute straight-flute geometry for balanced chip control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole and through-hole threading in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces requiring 12-24 UNC threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by hand using a standard tap wrench; it is not designed for machine tapping.
