It is built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and features a plug chamfer for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole threading applications. The 2-flute straight flute geometry provides adequate chip clearance in softer materials and delivers consistent thread quality. With an overall length of 2.375 inches and an H2 thread limit, this tap holds close tolerances for standard fit thread classes. It is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and production operators working on light to medium threading tasks in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading operations in materials where straight flute taps perform reliably, including aluminum, brass, free-machining steel, and plastics. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in of 3 to 5 threads, making it appropriate for both through-holes and sufficiently deep blind holes. Right-hand thread direction aligns with standard 10-24 UNC fastener applications commonly found in machine components, electrical enclosures, and light structural assemblies. It is well matched for use in hand tapping, drill press tapping, and CNC tapping operations where coolant-through capability is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-24 UNC thread form with right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides good wear resistance and hardness for general threading work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 3 to 5 thread lead-in suits both through-holes and deep blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit maintains close tolerances for standard fit thread classes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute straight flute geometry handles chip clearance in softer, free-machining materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish is compatible with standard cutting fluids and lubricants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for any application requiring a 10-24 UNC straight flute plug tap in high-speed steel with an H2 thread limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with threading procedures. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is properly aligned with the drilled hole before beginning the threading operation. Appropriate cutting fluid or tapping lubricant should be applied to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Follow standard shop safety practices including eye protection and proper machine guarding when tapping under power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-24\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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 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: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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: K008231AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730403787058,"sku":"K008231AS","price":18.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9444362c94b00c3077272b4ee5d7eed8.jpg?v=1788716848","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k008231as-straight-flute-tap-10-24-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
