Guhring 9048855048260 Spiral Point Tap 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The GUHRING 9048855048260 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in steel and other ferrous materials. Built from HSS-E cobalt steel and finished with an Ignator coating, this tap delivers improved wear resistance and heat dissipation compared to standard HSS tooling. It cuts a 10-24 UNC right-hand thread with a plug chamfer, a 3-flute spiral point geometry that pushes chips ahead of the cutting zone to keep flutes clear during production runs. Overall length is 2.382 inches with a thread length of 0.551 inches and a shank diameter of 0.194 inches. It is suited for machine tapping in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping heads.

This tap is intended for through-hole applications in steel where consistent 10-24 UNC thread quality is required. The 2B/3B class of fit makes it appropriate for standard fastener assemblies used in general manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, and mechanical maintenance work. The plug chamfer distributes cutting load across several leading threads, making it effective for both production and repair threading operations. It is packaged individually and sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• HSS-E cobalt construction for increased hardness and heat resistance in steel threading
• Ignator coating reduces friction and extends tool life in production environments
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, keeping flutes clear in through-hole applications
• Plug chamfer distributes cutting load for smooth thread entry
• 2B/3B class of fit suits standard fastener thread tolerances
• Right-hand cut, no coolant-through requirement, no interrupted thread design needed

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole threading of 10-24 UNC threads in steel. Compatible with standard machine tapping setups accepting a 0.194-inch shank diameter. Refer to the Series 4885 product line for additional sizing options.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with machine tapping procedures. Secure the tap in a tapping head, rigid holder, or floating holder appropriate for the machine and application before use. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the spindle is set to the correct speed and feed for a 10-24 thread in the workpiece material. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling.
