Built from vanadium high speed steel with a steam oxide finish, this tap delivers consistent chip ejection ahead of the cut, reducing the risk of chip packing in through-hole applications. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in over several threads, making it well-suited for through-hole tapping where full thread depth is required. At 2.374 inches overall length with a 0.492 inch thread length and H6 thread limit, it fits standard tap holders used in production and maintenance machining environments. Installation requires right-hand rotation. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for through-hole tapping operations in both machine and hand-tapping setups. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward rather than backing them out, making it most effective in through-hole work. Suitable material applications include aluminum, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, and cast iron. It is commonly used in production shops, MRO maintenance work, and field repair operations where 10-32 UNF fastener holes are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry ejects chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium high speed steel construction provides wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating improves lubricity and reduces galling during the tapping cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 3 flutes provides stable lead-in for through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH6 thread limit ensures consistent thread tolerance for standard 10-32 UNF fastener fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction compatible with standard tap holders and tapping heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use spiral point tap for 10-32 UNF through-hole tapping applications in standard tap holders and tapping heads accepting a 0.194 inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should verify proper tap holder alignment before beginning the tapping cycle to prevent tap breakage. Secure the workpiece firmly and use a cutting fluid or tapping compound appropriate for the workpiece material, particularly when tapping stainless steel or hardened steel. Never reverse a spiral point tap under load without first clearing chip buildup. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machine guarding requirements throughout operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.374 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.492 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.194 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vanadium High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 280\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 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: 2818901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732646560050,"sku":"2818901","price":29.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7acb107fd6e62cede52f08b3e26860c8.jpg?v=1788745393","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2818901-spiral-point-tap-10-32-unf-3-flute-plug","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
