Manufactured from high-speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers improved wear resistance and extended tool life compared to uncoated HSS taps. The plug chamfer style features a 3-5 thread lead-in, making it well suited for through-hole tapping applications. With 4 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, the tap produces clean, consistent threads when driven by a standard tap wrench or machine spindle. The H3 thread limit provides a controlled tolerance fit for standard UNC fastener assemblies. Overall length is 4.25 inches with a thread length of 2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in general metalworking and maintenance applications requiring 3\/4-10 UNC internal threads. It is appropriate for both shop and field use in industrial, manufacturing, and heavy equipment service environments. The TiN coating reduces friction during cutting, which is particularly beneficial when tapping harder materials such as stainless steel. The 0.59-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard tap holders and wrenches sized for 3\/4-inch taps. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working in fabrication or repair settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-10 UNC right-hand thread, H3 tolerance limit for controlled fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (3-5 thread lead) suited for through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for toughness and re-sharpenability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating for reduced friction and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute straight flute geometry for chip clearance in short-chipping materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for use in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 3\/4-10 UNC internal threads in cast iron, stainless steel, and steel.

Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped, particularly when working with stainless steel, to reduce heat buildup and prolong tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips when tapping deep or blind holes. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow shop safety procedures when operating cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4-10\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\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.59 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1544603\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732336410930,"sku":"1544603","price":156.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a0d9f1000f16b6e477c0d05322702d5.jpg?v=1788741774","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1544603-hand-tap-3-4-10-unc-plug-rh-h3-tin-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
