Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers consistent thread form across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The plug chamfer style features a gradual lead-in, making it the standard choice for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes where chip clearance is adequate. With a 4-flute configuration and an overall length of 2-15\/16 inches, the JY4842480 is sized for use in bench or machine tapping operations where hand-tap tolerances are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals cutting 3\/8-48 UNS threads in production or repair applications. The 3B class of fit and H3 thread limit specify a standard tolerance range used widely in general mechanical assembly where moderate clearance between mating parts is acceptable. It is appropriate for use in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials when paired with appropriate cutting fluid. Typical use cases include threading fastener holes in fabricated parts, repair tapping of stripped threads, and prototype or low-volume production work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-48 UNS thread form for fine-pitch unified special threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides gradual thread engagement, suitable for through-holes and open blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction offers durability across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows direct visual inspection of tool wear during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute straight-flute geometry delivers stable chip formation in hand-tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and 3B class of fit meet standard tolerance requirements for general mechanical assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard hand tap for cutting 3\/8-48 UNS right-hand internal threads.

Secure the workpiece fully before beginning the tapping operation and apply a suitable cutting fluid throughout to reduce heat and extend tool life. Never force the tap against resistance; back off a quarter turn periodically to break and clear chips, particularly in blind-hole applications. Replace the tap if thread form shows visible wear or if torque increases unexpectedly during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-15\/16 inches\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: JY4842480\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715902308658,"sku":"JY4842480","price":64.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dc54fd20e88e9b279cfb691fa31ace2f.jpg?v=1788519526","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-jy4842480-hand-tap-3-8-48-uns","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
