Precision Twist Drill 1010701 Plug Tap 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010701 is a plug tap from the 1528 series, designed for cutting internal threads in machine screw applications. This hand tap produces 8-32 UNC threads, meaning a tap size of 8 with 32 coarse threads per inch. It measures 2.125 inches in overall length and is built for use in a wide variety of materials. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance trades rely on this style of tap for accurate thread-cutting in both production and repair settings.

This plug tap is suited for threading through holes and blind holes in metals, plastics, and other common shop materials. The 8-32 thread form is one of the most frequently specified machine screw sizes in light mechanical assembly, electrical panel work, and equipment maintenance. Its intermediate chamfer geometry — typically 3 to 5 threads — allows it to start easily while still reaching near the bottom of a blind hole, making it a practical general-purpose choice for both bench work and machine tapping operations.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using a standard tap handle or tapping fixture. Always drill the correct tap drill size before threading and ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before starting. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Reverse periodically when hand tapping to break chips, especially in blind hole applications.
