Built from vanadium high-speed steel (HSS-E) with a steam oxide coating, it provides improved lubricity and corrosion resistance compared to uncoated taps. The plug chamfer distributes cutting load across the leading threads, making it well suited for through-hole tapping. With a 2B class of fit and H2 thread limit, it produces threads within standard commercial tolerance for most fastener applications. Overall length is 2.48 inches and thread length is 0.75 inches, keeping it compact for close-quarter work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in a wide range of metalworking environments, from job shops and maintenance departments to production lines. It is rated for use in aluminum, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, making it most effective in through-hole applications where chip evacuation is not obstructed. It is a right-hand tap, driven with standard right-hand rotation using a tap wrench, tapping head, or CNC machine spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread form with H2 thread limit and 2B class of fit for standard commercial tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium high-speed steel (HSS-E) construction for improved wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer distributes cutting force across leading threads for smooth entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward — optimized for through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threading tool for through-hole 8-32 UNC tapping operations across a broad range of metals including aluminum, carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steel, die steel, and cast iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap should be installed by a machinist or qualified metalworking technician. Secure the workpiece before tapping and ensure the spindle or tap wrench is properly aligned to avoid tap breakage from angular misalignment. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped, even though coolant-through is not required. When tapping by hand, back off periodically to break chips and clear the flutes.\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\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\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: Vanadium High-Speed Steel (HSS-E)\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: 2.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 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: 250\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.016 pounds\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: 2517801\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728861397298,"sku":"2517801","price":30.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/42d38c4770613a2b1950332c00a61e0c.jpg?v=1788697035","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2517801-spiral-point-tap-8-32-unc-3-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
