It produces the oversized internal threads required to accept helical coil thread inserts, restoring or upgrading thread strength in parent material. The tap is ground to an H3 thread limit and carries a 3-flute, bottoming-chamfer geometry, making it well suited for threading to the bottom of blind holes. Built from high speed steel with a bright finish, the 1810900 measures 2.125 inches overall length with a 0.75-inch thread length and a shank diameter of 0.168 inches. It is installed by hand with a standard tap wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used wherever an 8-32 UNC Screw Thread Insert must be installed  -  common applications include repairing stripped threads in aluminum castings, carbon steel fabrications, cast iron housings, and hardened steel components. The bottoming chamfer allows threading into shallow or closed-end holes where a taper or plug chamfer cannot reach full thread depth. Typical users include machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working on light mechanical assemblies, engine components, and equipment housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread form ground to H3 thread limit for precise STI insert fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer enables full threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute design provides chip clearance in a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles aluminum, carbon steel, cast iron, and hardened steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish with no coating  -  ready for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.75-inch thread length and 2.125-inch overall length suit compact workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 8-32 UNC STI threads compatible with standard helical coil thread inserts in aluminum, carbon steel, cast iron, and hardened steel parent materials per OSG Series 126.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA qualified machinist or maintenance technician should install this tap using a properly sized tap wrench  -  never a power driver without a torque-limiting attachment. The parent hole must be drilled to the correct STI tap drill diameter before tapping. Apply a suitable cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use; a damaged tap can seize in the workpiece and ruin the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 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\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.131 inches\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: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, Hardened Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 126\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: 1810900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743069176114,"sku":"1810900","price":37.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/20420e105e44c6b49d64cb53e1aa09cc.jpg?v=1788842208","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1810900-hand-sti-tap-8-32-unc-h3-bottoming","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
