Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable performance in manual tapping operations. The plug chamfer style features a standard lead-in that makes it suitable for through-hole and most blind-hole applications. With an overall length of 5.125 inches and a thread length of 2.5 inches, it provides adequate reach and engagement for standard production and maintenance threading tasks. The H2 thread limit ensures a controlled fit for general-purpose UNC threading work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and general fabrication environments where 1-8 UNC internal threads are required. The 4-flute straight flute configuration is well suited for tapping shorter-chipping materials such as cast iron, brass, and mild steel by hand or with a tapping wrench. It is a standard choice for tool rooms and industrial maintenance applications where consistent thread quality is needed without power equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-8 UNC thread size with H2 thread limit for controlled tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 3-5 lead threads for easy starting in through-holes and shallow blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute straight flute design suited for shorter-chipping materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, standard UNC specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hand tap for 1-8 UNC through-hole and blind-hole threading applications in standard manual and machine-assisted tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or appropriate holder. Always use a cutting fluid compatible with the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece before starting to prevent cross-threading or breakage. Do not force the tap if resistance increases unexpectedly — back off to clear chips before continuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\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\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: MSC-04469086\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690562224434,"sku":"MSC-04469086","price":77.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8c8cd52264fdbb2b04808451109cc585.jpg?v=1788271725","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04469086-hand-tap-1-8-unc-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
