The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, keeping the flute area clear and reducing the risk of chip packing in through-hole applications. Built from high-speed steel with a steam oxide finish, this tap delivers consistent performance across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With 2 flutes, an H5 thread limit, and right-hand thread direction, it suits standard production and maintenance tapping operations. Overall length is 2.125 inches with a shank diameter of 0.168 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole tapping in materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, and hardened steel. The plug chamfer style  -  typically 3 to 5 lead threads  -  makes it the standard choice for starting a tap in a pre-drilled hole where the tap can pass completely through. It fits jobs in both production shop environments and field maintenance work where 8-32 UNC fasteners are common, such as electrical enclosures, HVAC controls, and light mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles a broad range of metal hardnesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit provides slightly oversized threads for plated or tight-tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for general-purpose through-hole starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 8-32 UNC right-hand internal threads in through-hole applications across aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, and hardened steel workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse in a properly sized drill press, CNC machine, or hand tap handle with appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the tapping operation. Follow standard tap drill size recommendations for 8-32 UNC to achieve the correct thread engagement percentage. Do not reverse the tap under power without confirming the machine supports that function, as forcing a tap in a bind can result in breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32 UNC\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: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\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: H5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\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: 0.39 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\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.016 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Cast Iron, Hardened Steel, 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: 1217801\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743953977650,"sku":"1217801","price":25.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5e69bc371608cd0904032c2aebc55375.jpg?v=1788851876","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1217801-spiral-point-tap-8-32-unc-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
