Built from high-speed steel with a bright\/uncoated finish, this tap produces 3\/8-20 UNS right-hand threads to a 3B class of fit with an H3 thread limit. The bottoming chamfer style allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it well suited for applications where full thread depth is required near the base of the hole. With 4 flutes, this tap provides good chip clearance and consistent thread form in a range of machinable materials. Overall length is 2-15\/16 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production threading applications. The bottoming chamfer configuration is particularly useful when a through-hole tap or plug tap has already started the thread and the operator needs to extend threads to the bottom of a blind hole. It is appropriate for use in manual tapping operations as well as with tapping heads and lathes where straight flute taps are the standard choice for non-stringy materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-20 UNS thread size with right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes for chip clearance in non-stringy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3B class of fit with H3 thread limit for consistent tolerance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of machinable materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — no coating buildup that could affect thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling tap for applications requiring 3\/8-20 UNS internal threads.

Ensure the workpiece is secured and the spindle or tap wrench is properly aligned before beginning to cut. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Never force a tap that has stopped advancing — back off to clear chips and re-lubricate before continuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: JY4842217\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689333915954,"sku":"JY4842217","price":52.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ead7a647bbbeb5c5f708efe9c8bb06e3.jpg?v=1788257743","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-jy4842217-straight-flute-tap-3-8-20-uns","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
