Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable performance in a range of common work materials. The bottoming chamfer style allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole when used in sequence after a taper or plug tap. With 2 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, it conforms to H2 thread limit and a 2B class of fit, making it well-suited for standard fastener thread applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in general machining, maintenance, and repair operations where 3-48 UNC threads are required. The 0.5-inch thread length accommodates typical depth requirements for small fastener work in metal components. It is appropriate for use in manual tapping operations with a tap wrench or in low-speed machine tapping setups. Trades and shops working on small mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, or precision components will find this tap a practical fit for standard threading tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread size 3-48 UNC for standard unified coarse thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading near the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across common work materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit with 2B class of fit for standard tolerance threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, 2-flute design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no special coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use tap for any application requiring 3-48 UNC right-hand threads at a 2B class of fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or tapping head. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before tapping to prevent tap breakage on this small thread size. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life. Follow the tapping sequence — taper or plug tap first, bottoming tap last — when threading blind holes to full depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\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-04503496\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689166438706,"sku":"MSC-04503496","price":17.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5eae4dd11ef39fe57f37a6b38c138ebf.jpg?v=1788255486","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04503496-spiral-point-tap-3-48-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
