Value Collection JY4838538 Hand Tap 10-64 Uns Plug Rh

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4838538 is a straight-flute hand tap designed for cutting internal threads in metalworking and machining applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap produces a 10-64 UNS thread profile in a right-hand direction. It carries a plug chamfer, which provides a balance between starting ease and thread engagement depth, making it suitable for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes. The 3B class of fit and H3 thread limit ensure dimensional accuracy consistent with standard UNS tolerance requirements. Overall length is 2.375 inches. This tap is turned by hand using a standard tap wrench.

This tap is used in general metalworking, maintenance, and repair operations where a 10-64 UNS internal thread is required. The straight-flute design works best in through-holes or short blind holes where chip evacuation is managed manually. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials at typical hand-tapping speeds. Machinists, toolmakers, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople performing thread repair or new thread creation will find this tap suited to bench work and field repair tasks. Package quantity is one tap per unit.

Key Features

• 10-64 UNS thread profile with right-hand direction for standard internal thread cutting
• Plug chamfer allows use in through-holes and moderately deep blind holes
• High speed steel construction provides wear resistance at hand-tapping speeds
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and materials
• 3B class of fit and H3 thread limit meet standard UNS dimensional tolerances
• 4-flute straight-flute geometry supports chip control in short through-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hand tap for cutting 10-64 UNS internal threads. Suitable for use with any standard tap wrench accepting this shank size.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a machinist or toolmaker using a standard tap wrench. Secure the workpiece before starting, and apply an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tool life. Start the tap square to the hole to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage. Back the tap off periodically to break and clear chips during the tapping operation.
