Built from cobalt high-speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers enhanced heat resistance and wear life compared to standard HSS taps. The tap runs a 3-48 UNC thread form with a right-hand cut, 3 flutes, an H2 thread limit, and a 2B\/3B class of fit. Overall length is 1.811 inches with a 0.5-inch thread length. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, and maintenance trades reaching for a small-diameter production tap will find this suited to both manual and CNC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for through-hole threading operations in materials including aluminum, aluminum alloy, free-cutting steel, structural steel, heat-treatable steel, case-hardened steel, stainless steel, cast iron, sulfured steel, and tool steel. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in, making it well suited to production environments where the tap enters a pre-drilled through hole and chips are pushed ahead of the cutting edge rather than backed out. The shank diameter of 0.141 inches is sized for standard tap holders and collet chucks in that range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction for improved heat resistance in tough materials including stainless and tool steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating reduces friction and extends tool life in production threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer geometry for smooth entry into through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit and 2B\/3B class of fit for precise, standard-tolerance threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral point pushes chips forward, keeping the flutes clear during through-hole operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 flutes provide a balance of chip clearance and cutting edge strength at this small diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use spiral point tap for 3-48 UNC through-hole threading applications across aluminum, ferrous, and stainless workpieces in Series 4402.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this tap should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance tradesperson familiar with small-diameter tapping procedures. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned with the pre-drilled hole before applying torque to avoid tap breakage at this small diameter. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material, particularly when threading stainless or hardened steels. Power down any CNC or tapping machine before changing or inspecting tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\/3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.811 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.131 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4402\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: GUHRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9044022025150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GUHRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748582654258,"sku":"9044022025150","price":28.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b62df8318d3f20b3552ac1fcbda1d76f_2ec3e392-4b0b-4689-bc37-4751ab89b7ff.jpg?v=1788895394","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/guhring-9044022025150-spiral-point-tap-3-48-unc-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
