Value Collection JY63328504 Plug Hand Tap 8-36 Unf 3 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY63328504 is a plug chamfer hand tap designed for cutting 8-36 UNF internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel with a bright finish, this tap delivers consistent thread quality in manual tapping operations. The plug chamfer configuration features a gradual lead-in that distributes cutting load across multiple teeth, making it well suited for through-hole and moderately deep blind-hole applications. At 6 inches overall length, the tap provides adequate reach for standard threading tasks encountered in machining, fabrication, and repair work.

This tap is intended for hand-tapping applications where a plug-style chamfer is required to start threading after a bottoming pass or to follow a taper tap in a progressive tapping sequence. The H3 thread limit designation indicates the tap produces threads toward the high end of the standard tolerance range, accommodating plated or coated fasteners. The right-hand flute direction and three-flute geometry are suited to general-purpose use in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users of this tap.

Key Features

• 8-36 UNF thread size for fine-pitch unified thread applications
• Plug chamfer with 3-6 thread lead-in distributes cutting load evenly across multiple teeth
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for manual tapping
• H3 thread limit accommodates plated or coated mating fasteners
• Bright finish for easy visual inspection of cutting edges
• Right-hand flute direction for standard clockwise threading
• 6 inches overall length for reach in standard through-hole and shallow blind-hole work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tap for cutting 8-36 UNF internal threads in through-hole and blind-hole applications across common machinable materials.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for manual hand-tapping operations using a standard tap wrench or T-handle. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Ensure the tap is started square to the hole to prevent cross-threading or tap breakage. Back off the tap periodically to break chips, especially in ductile materials.
