Built from Vanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E) with a steam oxide coating, this tap handles the rigors of production and maintenance tapping operations. It cuts an 8-32 UNC right-hand thread, runs three flutes, and carries a H6 thread limit for consistent fit across standard inch-series fastener applications. The overall length is 2.126 inches with a thread length of 0.374 inches and a shank diameter of 0.168 inches. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cut, making it well suited for tapping through-holes where chip evacuation matters. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, HVAC fabricators, and plumbing technicians all reach for this style of tap in daily production work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is appropriate for threading 8-32 UNC through-holes in residential and commercial fabrication, maintenance, and repair settings. The H6 thread limit targets general-purpose fits where standard tolerances are acceptable. Rated material applications include aluminum, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, making it a versatile choice across sheet metal, structural, and mechanical assembly work. It does not support coolant-through delivery and is not designed for interrupted threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, optimizing performance in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E) construction provides elevated heat and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and provides a degree of corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH6 thread limit delivers consistent 8-32 UNC tolerance for general-purpose fastener fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, three-flute design compatible with standard tapping attachments and tap handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through requirement simplifies use in manual and standard CNC tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production tap for 8-32 UNC through-hole threading operations across a broad range of machine tools, tapping attachments, and hand tap handles that accept straight-shank taps of 0.168-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap should be installed by a qualified machinist or trade professional familiar with tapping speeds, feeds, and proper tap wrench or machine setup. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the starting hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for 8-32 UNC before beginning the tapping operation. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not reverse the tap too aggressively when breaking chips, as this can cause breakage in harder materials.\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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: 2.126 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.374 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\u003eInterrupted Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 280\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: 2817901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730125947186,"sku":"2817901","price":31.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b5fdc023f454b25d53d29bdd7a0e5c74.jpg?v=1788712170","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2817901-spiral-point-tap-8-32-unc-3-flute-plug","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
