The spiral point geometry pushes chips ahead of the tap and out through the hole, reducing clogging and allowing for faster, cleaner thread cutting compared to straight-flute designs. Built to plug tap standards, it enters partially chamfered to allow threading close to the bottom of a through-hole. This tap is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals in fabrication, mechanical, and field repair applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SP-1224-P-I is suited for threading 12-24 UNC threads in through-hole applications across ferrous and non-ferrous materials including mild steel, aluminum, and brass. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel fabrication, plumbing fixture repair, and general mechanical maintenance where 12-24 machine screw threads are required. The plug chamfer makes it a general-purpose choice for production and repair work alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-24 UNC thread form for standard machine screw applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward through the hole, reducing tap breakage and improving thread quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides 3-5 thread lead-in for versatile through-hole use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds, suited for handheld tap wrenches or machine tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 12-24 UNC spiral point plug tap compatible with conventional tap wrenches, T-handle wrenches, and machine tapping chucks that accept the appropriate shank size for this tap class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways secure the workpiece before tapping and use a proper cutting fluid or tapping compound to reduce friction and extend tap life. Apply steady, even pressure and back off periodically to break chips when tapping by hand. Inspect threads after cutting to confirm full thread form and depth before assembly. This tool should be used by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with proper tapping technique and speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-24 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Point 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: SP-1224-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233231601970,"sku":"SP-1224-P-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307624373.png?v=1780094864","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-sp-1224-p-i-hss-spiral-point-plug-tap-12-24","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
