This hand tap features a 5\/16-18 UNC thread form, meaning 5\/16-inch major diameter with 18 coarse threads per inch, and an overall length of 2-23\/32 inches. It is suited for both through-hole and blind-hole threading applications. Licensed tradespeople and machining professionals reach for this style of tap when precision, repeatable thread quality, and material versatility are required in production or maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug tap chamfer style — with roughly 3 to 5 leading threads tapered to guide entry — makes the 1010028 a practical choice for general-purpose tapping in through holes and most blind-hole situations where full thread depth is not required right to the bottom. It performs in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials in both shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style suits through-hole and standard blind-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC coarse thread form for high thread engagement strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall length of 2-23\/32 inches for reach in standard tap wrench or holder setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1500 Series construction for consistent thread accuracy across a wide material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually — minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose hand tap for cutting 5\/16-18 UNC coarse internal threads in through or blind holes across a wide variety of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand tapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson using an appropriate tap wrench and cutting fluid suited to the workpiece material. Always ensure the tap is started square to the hole to prevent cross-threading or breakage. Back the tap off regularly to break chips, particularly in blind-hole applications. Do not force a tap that meets resistance — inspect for chip buildup or misalignment before continuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1500\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 (coarse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-23\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 698464014727\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: PRECISION TWIST DRILL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1010028\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347498795314,"sku":"1010028","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310538558.jpg?v=1782106854","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-1010028-plug-tap-5-16-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
