Built from high-speed steel, it produces a 1\/4-20 UNC right-hand thread with a plug chamfer that allows the thread to start gradually and run through to full depth. The tap features 3 flutes and carries an H2 thread limit, indicating a tolerance class suitable for general-purpose threading applications. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a thread length of 1 inch. Licensed machinists, tool and die technicians, pipefitters, and maintenance trades rely on this type of tap for production and repair threading tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole and blind-hole tapping operations in aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel. The plug chamfer style starts the tap with a gradual lead, making it appropriate for both hand tapping and machine tapping setups where a starting chamfer is needed before the full thread form is engaged. It is part of OSG Series 103 and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC right-hand thread form for general fastener and fitting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides gradual thread engagement for through-hole and blind-hole use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers durability across a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit for standard general-purpose tolerance fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 straight flutes suitable for tapping shorter chip materials such as cast iron and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 2.5-inch overall length fits standard tap handles and CNC toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel workpieces.

Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the tapping operation. Use the appropriate cutting fluid or tapping oil for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if the cutting edges show damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 103\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Cast Iron, High-Carbon Steel, Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel\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: 1165102\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739372159282,"sku":"1165102","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3c171d276b74051e715703a03694f704.jpg?v=1788813724","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1165102-straight-flute-tap-1-4-20-unc-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
