It features a plug chamfer and two flutes, which push chips forward through the hole ahead of the cutting edge. The tap is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating that increases surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting. It carries an H2 thread limit and a 2B class of fit, making it suitable for standard fastener clearances. The right-hand thread direction and 0.5-inch thread length make it a straightforward choice for through-hole tapping in light-gauge work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in production and maintenance machining environments where small-diameter threads are required. The 3-48 UNC designation is common in precision assemblies, instrument panels, and light-duty fastener applications. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-tapping setups. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians working in job shops, maintenance facilities, or production floors will encounter this size when threading steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life compared to uncoated HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit provides accurate fit for standard 2B class of fit requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, plug chamfer profile suitable for starting threads in pre-drilled holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHSS construction offers toughness for both hand and machine tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.1410-inch shank diameter fits standard tap holders and chucks for this size range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-use spiral point tap for 3-48 UNC through-hole threading operations.

Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and that the tap is properly aligned before beginning the threading operation. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use, as small-diameter taps are susceptible to breakage under misalignment or excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 0.1410 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: K008061AS25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732667662642,"sku":"K008061AS25","price":27.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d7166e5550e649f3b82443057237f7d4.jpg?v=1788745529","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k008061as25-spiral-point-tap-3-48-unc-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
