Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a gold oxide coating, this tap offers improved lubricity and moderate wear resistance suited for production and maintenance threading work. It cuts a 1\/2-13 UNC right-hand thread with a taper chamfer, which distributes the cutting load gradually across the lead threads and makes it easier to start the tap square to the workpiece. With four flutes and an H3 thread limit, it holds tight tolerances appropriate for standard UNC class-fit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments where 1\/2-13 UNC threaded holes are required in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The taper chamfer style makes it particularly well-suited for through-hole applications or wherever starting alignment is a priority. It is appropriate for use in manual tapping, drill press tapping, and CNC tapping operations at controlled feed rates. Machinists, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians are the typical end users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 UNC thread form with right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer distributes cutting load for easier starting and straighter entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit suits standard class-fit UNC tolerance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour straight flutes for chip clearance in through-hole threading operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/2-13 UNC straight flute taper tap for use in manual and machine tapping setups compatible with this thread size and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician using a calibrated tap handle, drill press, or CNC tapping cycle with appropriate feed control. Always drill the correct tap drill size for 1\/2-13 UNC before tapping, and apply cutting fluid suitable for the workpiece material. Avoid excessive torque or side loading, which can cause tap breakage. For blind holes, use a bottoming or plug tap to finish threads close to the bottom after using this taper tap to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\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\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\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: Gold Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: IMPORT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BDNA-20726\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51719352582450,"sku":"BDNA-20726","price":24.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2eca07a7a8ef8bbd41e93b1a747b95d5.jpg?v=1788558977","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-bdna-20726-straight-flute-tap-1-2-13-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
