The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, keeping the flutes clear and reducing the risk of chip packing during cutting. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — provides a gradual lead-in suitable for most standard through-hole tapping operations. This tap is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general fabricators working with steel, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for production and maintenance tapping of through-holes where a 1\/2-13 UNC thread is required. Common applications include structural steel fabrication, machine assembly, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and general industrial maintenance. The spiral point design makes it well adapted to use with tapping heads, CNC machines, or hand tapping where chip clearance in through-holes is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides wear resistance and durability across common work materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward through the hole, reducing chip congestion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer lead-in allows gradual thread engagement suited for through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard tapping fluids and cutting oils to extend tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for standard 1\/2-13 UNC through-hole tapping applications across general metalworking and industrial maintenance operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with threading operations. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before tapping, and use an appropriate cutting oil or tapping fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life. Apply steady, even pressure and back off periodically to break chips when tapping manually. Never force a tap that feels seized — back out, clear chips, and reapply cutting fluid before continuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13 UNC\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\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: SP-5000-13-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233397342514,"sku":"SP-5000-13-P-I","price":15.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307624356.png?v=1780098990","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-sp-5000-13-p-i-hss-spiral-point-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
