Value Collection JY4738324 Straight Flute Tap 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4738324 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting 10-32 UNF internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap is suited for general-purpose threading in production and maintenance environments. The 4-flute configuration provides balanced cutting action, while the plug chamfer allows the tap to start easily in through-holes. Overall length is 2.375 inches. A thread limit of H11 and an oversize value of 0.0050 decimal inches make this tap appropriate for threading operations that require a slight tolerance allowance for plating or coating of finished parts.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where 10-32 UNF threads are required. The right-hand thread direction suits standard threading operations. The plug chamfer style makes it well suited for through-hole applications where full thread engagement along the hole depth is not needed before the tap exits. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users of this tap.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use by machinists and trained technicians operating drill presses, CNC machines, or tapping heads. Always ensure the workpiece is properly secured before threading operations begin. Use an appropriate cutting fluid compatible with the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use and replace if damage is present.
