It produces an 8-32 UNC thread with a plug chamfer and a Class 2B fit tolerance, making it well suited for general-purpose fastener threads in production and maintenance environments. The tap is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and carries an H3 thread limit for consistent dimensional control. At 2.125 inches overall length with a 0.75-inch thread length, it fits standard tap holders and is sized for use with a No. 29 drill. Right-hand cutting direction. No coolant-through feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for threading cast iron, ductile iron, and non-ferrous metals in light to medium production work. Typical applications include machine shops, maintenance facilities, and assembly operations where 8-32 UNC fasteners are common. The plug chamfer style requires a through-hole or adequate chip clearance, as the spiral point pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting edge rather than extracting them from the hole. It is well matched to CNC tapping, drill press tapping, and hand tapping operations where chip control and thread accuracy are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread form with Class 2B fit for standard fastener thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer drives chips forward, suited for through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit provides consistent oversize control for plated or coated fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles cast iron, ductile iron, and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish maintains sharp cutting geometry for light-to-medium duty use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting, 2 flutes, fractional inch measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap compatible with standard 8-32 UNC through-hole tapping applications in cast iron, ductile iron, and non-ferrous metal workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard tap handles, tapping heads, or CNC rigid tapping cycles. Secure the workpiece and ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct size and is free of burrs before tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Do not reverse the tap prematurely in blind holes, as this is a spiral point design intended for through-hole use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.168 inches\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: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Ductile Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1541345\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731912327474,"sku":"1541345","price":30.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/226a7db60a1f2dcc82b3f2b963707499.jpg?v=1788736484","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1541345-spiral-point-tap-8-32-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
