It produces a 12-28 UNF right-hand thread with a plug chamfer, making it suitable for through-hole and most blind-hole applications where some lead-in clearance is available. Built from high-speed steel, it delivers reliable edge retention across production and maintenance tapping operations. The tap features 4 flutes and is ground to an H3 thread limit, supporting both 2B and 3B class-of-fit tolerances. Overall length is 2-5\/8 inches with a 15\/16-inch thread length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, repair, and fabrication settings where 12-28 UNF threads are required. It is well suited for tapping aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel workpieces. Typical applications include threading holes in fixtures, brackets, fastener repairs, and component assemblies across automotive, industrial, and general metalworking environments. Coolant-through is not supported, so standard flood or manual lubrication applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-28 UNF thread form, right-hand cut, H3 thread limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides 3-5 threads of lead-in for versatile through-hole and blind-hole use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes for chip clearance in the supported material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for consistent edge retention in carbon and alloy steels as well as aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports both 2B and 3B class-of-fit tolerances in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 2-5\/8-inch overall length suits standard tap handles and CNC turrets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for tapping 12-28 UNF threaded holes in aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned with the drilled pilot hole before applying torque. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Never exceed the recommended feed rate for the tap size, and back off periodically to break chips when working in blind holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-28 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Straight Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B and 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Cast Iron, Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel, High-Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 102\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1025802\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740649619762,"sku":"1025802","price":24.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/326d7ab8b02d8071a42bd324ef4f1ff7_305b0f81-82b6-44d6-8128-56ca1b66ae48.jpg?v=1788826471","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1025802-straight-flute-tap-12-28-unf-plug-h3-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
