It is manufactured from vanadium high-speed steel (HSS-E) with a steam oxide coating that reduces friction and provides moderate corrosion resistance during cutting operations. The tap features 3 flutes, an H2 thread limit, and a plug chamfer for lead-in on through-hole applications. With an overall length of 2.937 inches and a thread length of 0.74 inches, it is sized for standard tapping chucks and hand tap wrenches. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance trades use this tap for production and repair threading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole threading in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, making it most effective in through-hole applications where chip evacuation is unobstructed. Typical use cases include threading in aluminum, low-, medium-, and high-carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. It is well-suited for both manual tapping and machine tapping at moderate speeds where coolant-through tooling is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-24 UNF right-hand thread profile for fine-pitch fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point design pushes chips forward, optimized for through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium HSS-E construction provides increased wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces built-up edge and aids chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit for close-tolerance threading requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides gradual thread engagement and lead-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in aluminum, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, and cast iron.

Power down or disengage the machine spindle before loading or unloading the tap. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material, especially when tapping stainless or alloy steels. Follow shop standards and applicable machining codes for speed and feed selection when used in CNC or manual tapping equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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 Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\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: 2.937 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.74 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.381 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: 280\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 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: 2826801\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730659475762,"sku":"2826801","price":41.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f037cfbe3d1872fe259a871295acd92f_ec2e2686-8baf-4c5c-83bc-305e23d64613.jpg?v=1788721014","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2826801-spiral-point-tap-3-8-24-unf-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
