Built from High-Speed Steel-E (HSS-E) and finished with a dual TiCN and TiN coating, this tap delivers extended tool life and resistance to heat buildup during cutting. It is sized for 8-32 UNC threads and features a plug chamfer with 2 flutes, producing a right-hand thread. The overall length is 2.125 inches with a thread length of 0.38 inches and a shank diameter of 0.168 inches. The H4 thread limit designation makes it suitable for close-tolerance tapped holes. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians in production and job-shop environments are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is engineered for through-hole threading operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, making it well suited for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping heads where unobstructed chip flow is critical. It belongs to Kennametal Series T820 and carries material grade KSP32. It is not designed for blind-hole applications where chip evacuation to the rear is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC right-hand thread, H4 thread limit for close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual TiCN and TiN coating improves wear resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS-E base material provides toughness in interrupted-cut and variable-hardness workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry advances chips forward, optimized for through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer allows threading closer to the bottom of a through-hole without a starting bottoming tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through design keeps setup simple for standard tapping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metal workpieces requiring 8-32 UNC threads.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the spindle is properly aligned before beginning the tapping cycle. Use an appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material to maximize tool life and thread quality. Do not reverse the tap under load without proper tapping-head support, as HSS-E taps can fracture if torque is applied off-axis.\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0313 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel-E (HSS-E)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KSP32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN and TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\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: 0.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupted Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: T820\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5455862\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728898523442,"sku":"5455862","price":47.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/861d04fdd0d65732ca5807df8952d8d4_44a17d1f-db0a-457e-9ef9-e38f61343c5b.jpg?v=1788697499","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-5455862-spiral-point-tap-8-32-unc-hss-e-ticn-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
