Built from Vanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E) with a steam oxide coating, this tap handles right-hand threading in a range of steel materials including low-carbon, medium-carbon, stainless, and hardened steel. The 2-flute spiral point design pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, making it well suited for through-hole applications. The H2 thread limit holds a 2B class of fit, delivering consistent thread tolerance across production runs. Overall length is 1.811 inches with a 0.496-inch thread length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and production environments where 3-48 UNC threads are required in through-hole applications. Typical installs include precision component fabrication and repair work on small-diameter fastener bosses in carbon steel and stainless steel workpieces. The steam oxide finish provides lubricity and mild corrosion resistance during cutting operations. It is sized for use in CNC tapping centers, drill presses, and manual tapping fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point design pushes chips forward for clean through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E) construction for increased wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and extends tool life in steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit maintains 2B class of fit tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 flutes for efficient chip evacuation in standard threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for threading 3-48 UNC through-holes in low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a machinist or qualified technician familiar with tapping operations. Secure the workpiece and align the tap perpendicular to the drilled hole before beginning the threading cycle. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are degraded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-48\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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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: H2\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: Vanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E)\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: 1.811 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.496 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 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: 300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112806\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: 1725601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729025532210,"sku":"1725601","price":44.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/746826bbc90301ac9477d6a7fee5db15.jpg?v=1788698990","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1725601-spiral-point-tap-3-48-unc-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
