Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with an elektraLUBE coating, it features a 2-flute spiral point geometry that pushes chips ahead of the cutting action to prevent chip packing in through-hole applications. The plug chamfer provides a gradual entry into the workpiece, making it well suited for both hand tapping and machine tapping operations. The H2 thread limit controls the tolerance of the finished thread. Thread length is 1 inch with right-hand cutting direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole threading operations across a broad range of materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, and hardened steel. It fits standard production environments such as job shops, maintenance and repair operations, and manufacturing lines where consistent UNF thread quality is required. The spiral point design makes it most effective in through-hole applications where chips can exit ahead of the tap rather than packing in a blind bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-28 UNF thread size with H2 thread limit for controlled tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing chip packing in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eelektraLUBE coating reduces friction and improves tool life in dry or near-dry machining conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer allows gradual thread engagement, compatible with hand and machine tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction, 2 flutes, Series 105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for threading 1\/4-28 UNF through holes in aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, and hardened steel workpieces.

Power down or disengage the machine spindle before manually loading or inspecting the tap. Use appropriate cutting fluid or confirm the elektraLUBE coating meets the lubrication requirements of the material being tapped. Tap drill size selection should follow standard UNF tap drill charts for 1\/4-28 threads to achieve the desired thread engagement percentage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-28 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: elektraLUBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 105\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 1225402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738632225074,"sku":"1225402","price":29.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d2530d8f2dee50470cb6e4fdeb31d376.jpg?v=1788802094","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1225402-spiral-point-tap-1-4-28-unf-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
