It features 4 flutes and a taper chamfer, which distributes cutting load across several leading threads to ease entry and reduce torque during initial thread engagement. The tap is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) and carries a gold oxide coating that provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and cutting operations. This tap is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and field service pros working on threaded fastener repairs or new thread creation in metal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is commonly used in general-purpose machine shop environments, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and field service applications where 12-24 UNC threaded holes are required. The taper chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-hole threading where the tap can pass fully through the material. It is well matched to drilling and tapping operations on mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. Packaged as a single tap per unit, it fits standard hand tap wrench or machine tap holder setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-24 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse pitch fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer distributes cutting load and reduces entry torque in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes for efficient chip clearance in through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold oxide coating adds mild lubricity and protects against surface corrosion during storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit maintains consistent fit tolerance for standard 12-24 UNC threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard hand tap wrenches or machine tap holders that accept straight-shank taps in the 12-24 UNC size range.

Always apply cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life. Secure the workpiece fully before beginning to prevent movement during thread cutting. Taper taps are intended for through-hole applications and should not be used as a bottoming tap in blind holes without following up with a plug or bottoming style tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: IMPORT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BDNA-20721\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708057878834,"sku":"BDNA-20721","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ae46de04d2b7de0f7dc556ab83e14a55.jpg?v=1788443720","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-bdna-20721-straight-flute-tap-12-24-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
