Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than remove chips, producing stronger threads with a better surface finish. This tap is manufactured from Vanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E) with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread direction, an H3 thread limit for controlled tolerance, and 3.5 to 5 chamfered threads on the plug lead. Overall length is 2.125 inches with a thread length of 0.375 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this tap in through-hole threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole threading in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. The plug chamfer makes it a versatile choice for both hand tapping and machine tapping operations where the tap can pass fully through the workpiece. It is commonly used in production machining, maintenance and repair, and fabrication environments where 8-32 UNC fastener threads are required. The 0.168-inch shank diameter fits standard tap holders and chucks sized for this thread range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material for stronger threads and no chip evacuation concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E) construction for wear resistance and toughness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 3.5 to 5 chamfered threads for through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for consistent tolerance control in production use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand, 8-32 UNC thread specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading of 8-32 UNC internal threads in non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Use an appropriate cutting or forming lubricant for the workpiece material to extend tap life and protect the finish. Secure the workpiece and align the tap perpendicular to the surface before engaging to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage. Follow all machine shop safety practices and ensure spindle speed is appropriate for the tap diameter and material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 to 5\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 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\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.131 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright, Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\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: 4131952\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749219991858,"sku":"4131952","price":52.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/435992ae1e5198eb18423088faef2264.jpg?v=1788903286","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-4131952-thread-forming-tap-8-32-unc-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
