Value Collection JY63328686 Straight Flute Tap 12-36 Uns

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY63328686 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting 12-36 UNS internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread-cutting performance in shops and field environments. The bottoming chamfer allows threading to the bottom of blind holes, making it well suited for close-tolerance work. With 4 flutes and an H3 thread limit, it maintains consistent thread geometry across production runs and repair applications. Overall length is 2.375 inches. Right-hand thread direction is standard. This tool is typically used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals.

This tap is used when 12-36 UNS thread specifications are required and where threading must reach the base of a blind hole. The bottoming chamfer provides only 1-2 lead threads, so the tap should be used after a taper or plug tap has already started the thread. Suitable for use in manual tapping, drill press setups, and low-speed CNC tapping operations. The HSS construction handles a broad range of workpiece materials including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics.

Key Features

• Bottoming chamfer for threading to the bottom of blind holes
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• H3 thread limit for consistent fit and tolerance control
• 4 flutes provide good chip clearance during tapping
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use
• Right-hand thread direction, standard for 12-36 UNS applications

Compatibility

Designed for cutting 12-36 UNS right-hand internal threads. Compatible with standard tap holders and tapping chucks sized for the tap shank. Suitable for manual and machine tapping setups.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by a machinist or qualified maintenance technician using a properly sized tap wrench or machine tap holder. Secure the workpiece fully before tapping to prevent movement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Because this is a bottoming chamfer tap, use a taper or plug tap first to establish the thread before finishing with this tool in blind holes.
