It is manufactured from high-speed steel with a steam oxide coating that reduces friction and helps resist corrosion during cutting. The plug chamfer on the lead threads makes it well suited for through-hole tapping operations where the tap can pass fully through the workpiece. With 3 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, the 1232001 drives chips forward and out of the hole, maintaining clean thread formation. It carries a thread limit of H3, indicating a standard tolerance class appropriate for general-purpose UNC fastener applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and field service environments where 7\/16-14 UNC threads must be cut or restored. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and tapping machines. The steam oxide finish makes it a solid choice across a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. It is sold individually and suits both production and low-volume repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/16-14 UNC thread form with right-hand cutting direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute spiral point design pushes chips forward through the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer optimized for through-hole tapping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and provides corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for standard general-purpose UNC tolerance fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, hardened steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel.

Ensure the workpiece is properly fixtured and that the correct tap drill size for 7\/16-14 UNC is used before tapping. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-14 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: 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: H3\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: 3.156 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.882 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.323 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: No\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: 0.084 pounds\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: 1232001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743077925170,"sku":"1232001","price":42.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a99ebfc14a95e269f967100fcde534d6.jpg?v=1788842329","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1232001-spiral-point-tap-7-16-14-unc-3-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
