Value Collection JY4838363 Straight Flute Tap 10-36 Uns

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4838363 is a straight flute plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in metalworking and machining applications. It is configured for 10-36 UNS thread specifications with 4 flutes and a plug chamfer, making it suitable for through-hole tapping where moderate starting guidance is needed. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The overall length is 2-3/8 inches, and the right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation. Thread tolerance is controlled to H2 limits, providing consistent 3B class of fit results.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where 10-36 UNS threaded holes are required. The plug chamfer style is the most common choice for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole tapping when a starting taper is not needed but a bottoming tap is not required. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians install this tap using a standard tap handle or tapping head in a drill press or CNC setup.

Key Features

• 10-36 UNS thread form for unified national special thread applications
• 4 straight flutes provide chip clearance and stable cutting action
• Plug chamfer for versatile through-hole and blind-hole use
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• H2 thread limit for consistent 3B class of fit tolerances
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluid as needed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock tap for 10-36 UNS internal thread applications in general machining and maintenance work.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians using an appropriate tap wrench, T-handle, or powered tapping head. Always ensure the workpiece is properly secured and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before starting. Apply a suitable cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not force the tap if resistance increases unexpectedly — back off to clear chips before continuing.
