It is designed to cut internal threads in metallic and non-metallic workpieces by hand or with standard tapping equipment. The plug chamfer style features a moderate lead-in of several threads, making it suitable for through-holes and most general-purpose tapping applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators reach for this tap when threading holes to a 12-28 unified fine thread specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in general metalworking, maintenance and repair operations, and light fabrication environments. The 12-28 thread size is common in instrument panels, electronic enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies where a fine thread pitch is required for secure fastening. It is appropriate for use in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials under normal hand tapping conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-28 unified fine thread form for precision internal thread cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style provides a moderate lead-in suited to through-holes and most general tapping jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers durability and resistance to heat generated during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSA manufactured for consistent dimensional accuracy and thread quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.08 pounds, easy to handle in confined workspaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hand plug tap for applications requiring a 12-28 unified fine internal thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard tap wrench or tapping handle. Before tapping, ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for a 12-28 thread. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding or breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-28\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unified Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 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: EAGLE CUTTING TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: HT-1228-P-D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233617477938,"sku":"HT-1228-P-D","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622671.png?v=1780104769","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-1228-p-d-12-28-hss-hand-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
