Ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this 2-flute straight flute tap delivers clean thread profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bottoming chamfer provides just 1-2 lead threads, allowing threading as close to the base of a hole as possible. Overall length is 2.375 inches with a 0.875-inch thread length and a shank diameter of 0.194 inches. It is suited for hand tapping operations on the bench or in a drill press fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in maintenance, repair, and fabrication work where 10-32 UNF threads are required in blind hole applications. The bottoming style is typically the final tap used in a three-tap sequence — after a taper and plug tap have started the thread — to achieve full thread depth. Common applications include instrument panels, electrical enclosures, small machine components, and light structural assemblies where fine-thread fasteners are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH1 thread limit for close-tolerance UNF thread fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute straight flute geometry suited for hand tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2.375-inch overall length fits standard tap wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 10-32 UNF bottoming hand tap compatible with conventional tap wrenches and tap holders accepting a 0.194-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand taps should be installed and turned using a properly sized tap wrench to maintain alignment and avoid breakage. Secure the workpiece before tapping, apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material, and back the tap off periodically to break chips. Follow standard machining and shop-safety practices; never force a tap in a blind hole without confirming chip clearance.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Hand Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H1\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\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.194 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\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: K008253AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730054119730,"sku":"K008253AS","price":17.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f31aec9ed1129932765478454b3e4173.jpg?v=1788710882","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k008253as-bottoming-hand-tap-10-32-unf-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
