Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright finish, this tap delivers consistent thread quality and durability in production and maintenance environments. The plug chamfer style — with a tapered lead of approximately 3 to 5 threads — makes it suitable for through-hole tapping where the tap can pass fully through the workpiece. At 10 inches overall length (OAL), it provides the reach needed for pulley, hub, and deep-bore threading work. The H3 thread limit ensures a controlled fit for standard UNC tolerance classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in metalworking, maintenance, and machine shop applications where 1\/2-13 UNC threads must be cut by hand or with a tapping fixture. The extended 10-inch OAL is especially useful when threading deep bores or recessed features common in pulleys, sheaves, and large mechanical assemblies. It is appropriate for use in both production and field maintenance settings where precise thread engagement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 UNC thread size for widely standardized fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for through-hole tapping with a smooth lead-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute design provides balanced cutting action and chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for controlled fit within standard UNC tolerance range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish — no coating — for easy visual inspection and general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-inch OAL provides reach for deep-bore and pulley applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for hand tapping or fixture-assisted tapping of 1\/2-13 UNC through-holes in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable materials where an H3 thread limit is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use by machinists and maintenance technicians familiar with hand tapping procedures. Secure the workpiece fully before tapping and use an appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the material being threaded. Apply steady, even pressure with a tap wrench and back off periodically to break chips. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use — a damaged tap can seize in the bore and cause costly rework.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 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: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 87009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727372517682,"sku":"87009","price":192.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/49998ada8d3603a8b260f019c9fedfb2.jpg?v=1788676900","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-87009-hand-pulley-plug-tap-1-2-13-unc-4-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
