Value Collection MSC-04508248 Spiral Point Tap 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04508248 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting 10-24 UNC internal threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap drives chips forward ahead of the cutting edge, making it well suited for through-hole tapping operations. The 2-flute design provides efficient chip evacuation and keeps the tool profile compact for use in tighter clearances. With a thread length of 0.875 inches and an H2 thread limit, this tap is sized for standard production and maintenance threading work across a range of materials.

This tap is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance repair operations where 10-24 UNC threads are required in through-holes. The plug chamfer style — featuring a moderate lead — makes it a general-purpose choice for hand tapping and machine tapping setups alike. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool and die workers in both shop and field environments where consistent thread form and size control are required.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse pitch threading
• Plug chamfer provides moderate lead-in for through-hole and deep through-hole applications
• 2-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-holes
• H2 thread limit for consistent tolerance control on standard fits
• High speed steel construction offers durability across common ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard tapping fluids and cutting oils

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock tap for any application requiring 10-24 UNC right-hand internal threads in through-hole workpieces.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping fixture, or machine spindle. Always secure the workpiece and ensure proper alignment before starting the thread. Use an appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Follow safe tool-change procedures and inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use.
