Made from high-speed steel with a steam oxide coating, it handles heat and wear across a wide range of materials. The spiral point geometry pushes chips ahead of the tap and into the hole, keeping the flute area clear during the cut. At 2.125 inches overall length with a 0.39-inch thread length and H3 thread limit, this tap holds consistent tolerances for a 2B class of fit. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and trade professionals reach for this tap when threading small fastener holes in production or repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading 8-32 UNC holes in a broad range of materials including low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, hardened steel, cast iron, aluminum, and cast aluminum. The plug chamfer makes it the right choice for through-hole threading where chip ejection forward is acceptable. It is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general fabrication shops where 8-32 machine screw threads are standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread form with H3 thread limit for 2B class of fit tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating improves lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for standard through-hole threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, 2-flute design with no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for threading 8-32 UNC through holes in 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\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists or qualified trade professionals using a tap wrench, tapping handle, or machine spindle rated for the tap size. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece before tapping to prevent movement. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use, and replace if damaged to avoid thread damage or tap breakage in the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\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 Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 105A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: 1611801\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743594905906,"sku":"1611801","price":33.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d8bb04b3663f8e08616c2428f1e4a8be_f50bea4e-139e-4196-a96c-465238f9062d.jpg?v=1788848311","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1611801-spiral-point-tap-8-32-unc-hss-oxide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
