Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap produces right-hand threads and is rated to an H1 thread limit for close-tolerance work. It carries a 0.468 inch thread length and an overall length of 2.125 inches, making it a compact, standard-size tap suited for production and maintenance threading operations. The plug chamfer style provides a balance between starting ease and thread engagement, and the 3-flute design offers adequate chip clearance in through-hole and shallow blind-hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for threading operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals including aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel. It is well suited for machine tapping on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and tapping heads, as well as hand tapping in maintenance and repair environments. The bright finish makes it a cost-effective choice for general-purpose threading where a specialized coating is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread form with right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for balanced starting and thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across multiple materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH1 thread limit for close-tolerance thread production\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute design provides chip clearance in through-hole and shallow blind-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel.
