Made from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap drives chips forward through the hole, making it well-suited for through-hole tapping applications. It features 2 flutes and an H2 thread limit for close tolerance control. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a 1-inch thread length. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals use this tap when installing thread inserts to restore or reinforce stripped or undersized threaded holes in metal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in both production and MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) settings where 10-32 UNF STI threads are required. STI taps cut an oversized thread specifically sized to accept HeliCoil wire thread inserts, making them a standard tool when repairing damaged threads in aluminum, steel, cast iron, and similar materials. The plug chamfer provides a 3- to 5-thread lead-in, appropriate for most through-hole applications across general manufacturing, aerospace MRO, and field repair environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point design pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSTI UNF thread form sized for HeliCoil wire thread insert installation (Helicoil Reference Number: 3FSB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit for consistent, close-tolerance thread fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 3- to 5-thread lead-in suits most standard through-hole tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows direct visual inspection of tool condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with HeliCoil-style wire thread inserts in 10-32 UNF STI applications.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the correct STI drill size has been used prior to tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the base material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not force or back-drive the tap if resistance is felt, as this may cause breakage or thread damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: STI UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelicoil Reference Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3FSB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 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: K007038AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737610879282,"sku":"K007038AS","price":34.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a8383d6b4079b8891b7007176abbddaf.jpg?v=1788791361","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k007038as-spiral-point-sti-tap-10-32-unf-2-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
