The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, keeping the flutes clear and allowing continuous feed in through-hole applications. Built to 4-48 UNF thread standards, this tap suits precision threading work where fine thread pitch and tight tolerances are required. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians reach for this style of tap when threading small fastener holes in production or repair settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SP-448-P-I is suited for use in through-hole threading applications on ferrous and non-ferrous metals including steel, aluminum, and brass. The 4-48 UNF specification makes it a common choice for instrument work, small mechanical assemblies, and electrical enclosure hardware where fine threads are standard. It is used in both manual tapping and machine tapping operations on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and tapping heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-48 UNF thread form for fine-pitch threading in small-diameter through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward to reduce clogging in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style provides a balance of starting ease and full thread engagement over several lead threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1 unit allows single-piece procurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production tap for use in any application requiring 4-48 UNF internal threads in through-hole configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following standard threading practices. Always use the correct tap drill size for 4-48 UNF threads before tapping, and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the tap is started square to the hole to prevent tap breakage. Power down and lock out any machine tool before changing or inspecting taps per standard lockout\/tagout procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-48 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\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-448-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233434042674,"sku":"SP-448-P-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307624357.png?v=1780099899","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-sp-448-p-i-hss-spiral-point-plug-tap-4-48","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
