Value Collection JY4762167 Spiral Point Tap 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4762167 is a spiral point plug tap designed for cutting right-hand internal threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it produces 3/8-16 UNC threads and is engineered for use in production and maintenance environments. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, making it well suited for through-hole tapping where chip evacuation matters. This tap carries an H11 thread limit and is ground oversize by 0.005 inches to compensate for tool wear and maintain thread tolerance over the life of the tool.

This tap is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a standard 3/8-16 UNC through-hole thread is required. The plug chamfer provides a balance of easy thread starting and cutting efficiency, making it appropriate for both manual and machine tapping operations in production shops, repair facilities, and general metalworking applications.

Key Features

• Spiral point design pushes chips forward for efficient through-hole tapping
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size, right-hand thread direction
• Plug chamfer for balanced starting ease and cutting performance
• H11 thread limit ground 0.005 inches oversize for extended tool life
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production tap for any application requiring 3/8-16 UNC right-hand internal threads in through-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with tapping operations. Always secure the workpiece and use an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips when tapping manually. Coolant-through operation is not supported by this tap.
