Value Collection JY8962524 Straight Flute Tap 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY8962524 is a straight flute tap designed to cut 8-32 UNC internal threads in through-holes and open-bottom applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread-cutting performance in a wide range of workpiece materials. The plug chamfer features 3 to 5 tapered lead threads, making it the standard choice for most general tapping work. With an overall length of 2.125 inches and a right-hand thread direction, it fits standard tap wrenches and machine setups used by machinists, maintenance techs, and tool-and-die professionals.

This tap is suited for production and maintenance tapping of 8-32 UNC threads in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials. The 4-flute straight flute design works best in through-hole applications where chip evacuation is not a concern, or in short blind holes where chip packing is manageable. The H11 thread limit designates an oversize tolerance of 0.0050 inches, which compensates for springback and provides a proper fit with standard 8-32 UNC fasteners across typical manufacturing and repair scenarios.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread form for standard inch-series fastener compatibility
• 4 straight flutes suited for through-hole tapping in a variety of materials
• Plug chamfer with 3 to 5 lead threads for general-purpose tapping

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock tap for any application requiring 8-32 UNC right-hand internal threads. Fits standard tap wrench collet sizes and machine tap holders appropriate for this thread size.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance professional familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect cutting edges before use and replace the tap if chipping or wear is visible to avoid thread damage or tap breakage.
