Value Collection JY8962581 Spiral Point Tap 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY8962581 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 10-24 UNC threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, reducing clogging and improving thread quality in production and maintenance environments. The H11 thread limit designates a slightly oversized tolerance class, making it well suited for tapping threads that will receive plated fasteners or coated hardware. At 0.0050 inches oversize, the resulting thread accommodates typical plating build-up without compromising fit. Installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and tool and die professionals, this tap is a standard choice for general-purpose threading in steel, cast iron, and similar materials.

This tap is appropriate for use in both manual and machine tapping operations where through-hole threading is required. The spiral point design is particularly effective in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines where continuous chip evacuation is critical. Right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard right-hand threaded fastener applications. The 2-flute configuration provides adequate chip flow for most ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials in light-to-medium production runs.

Key Features

• Spiral point design pushes chips forward for clean through-hole threading
• 10-24 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse pitch applications
• H11 thread limit provides 0.0050 inches oversize tolerance for plated hardware fitment
• High speed steel construction delivers durability across a range of common workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oils and standard tapping fluids
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute configuration for standard machine and hand tapping setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use spiral point tap for any application requiring 10-24 UNC right-hand threads in through-hole workpieces. Compatible with standard tap holders and quick-change tapping chucks sized for the tap shank.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with tapping speeds, feeds, and proper alignment procedures. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before engagement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or tapping oil to reduce heat and extend tool life. Do not exceed the recommended tapping torque for the tool diameter, and back the tap off periodically in hand tapping operations to break and clear chips.
