Osg 1592802 Spiral Point Tap 8-32 Unc Hss Elektralube

Product Description

The OSG 1592802 is a spiral point tap designed for threading 8-32 UNC holes in metalworking and fabrication applications. It features a plug chamfer, two flutes, and a high-speed steel (HSS) construction with an elektraLUBE coating that reduces friction and extends tool life. The tap carries a Thread Limit of H11 and is oversize by 0.0050 inches, a factor relevant when threading materials with predictable springback. Thread length is 0.75 inches. Right-hand cut. This tap is sold individually and is a standard tool for machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working with small-diameter unified coarse threads.

This tap is suited for through-hole and blind-hole threading operations in steel, aluminum, and similar metals where 8-32 UNC threads are required. Typical applications include machine assembly, enclosure fabrication, panel work, and equipment repair. The spiral point design pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, making it a preferred choice for through-hole applications on CNC machines, drill presses, and tapping arms in production and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread form, right-hand cut, plug chamfer for standard through-hole entry
• Two-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole operations
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of common metals
• elektraLUBE coating reduces friction and heat buildup during cutting
• H11 thread limit with 0.0050-inch oversize for consistent thread tolerance after material springback
• Coolant-through design not required — suited for conventional tapping setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 8-32 UNC through-hole tapping applications across metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance trades. Compatible with manual tapping handles, tapping arms, drill presses, and CNC tapping cycles that accept standard shank spiral point taps.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed and operated by machinists and metal fabricators; always secure workpieces firmly before tapping. Use the correct drill size for 8-32 UNC pre-drill before threading. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to supplement the elektraLUBE coating and extend tool life. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping regularly, and never force a tap that has stalled — back it out and clear chips before continuing.
