Value Collection MSC-04518247 Spiral Point Tap 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04518247 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 as it cuts, making it well-suited for threading through-holes where chip evacuation ahead of the tap is practical. The 2-flute design and H3 thread limit provide consistent fit within a 2B/3B class of fit tolerance, suitable for standard fastener assemblies in metal fabrication, maintenance, and production environments.

This tap is intended for use in through-hole threading operations on materials where HSS tooling performs reliably, including mild steel, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. With a 0.875 inch thread length and right-hand cutting direction, it fits standard tapping chucks, tap handles, and CNC tapping attachments. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians will find this tap appropriate for general-purpose production and repair threading tasks.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry drives chips forward, keeping the cutting zone clear in through-hole applications
• 10-24 UNC thread form with H3 thread limit for consistent 2B/3B class of fit tolerance
• 2-flute plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in for controlled thread engagement
• High speed steel construction offers durability across a range of machinable metals
• Bright uncoated finish allows straightforward visual inspection of tool condition
• Right-hand cut, no coolant-through, non-oversize — standard configuration for general-purpose use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production tap for 10-24 UNC through-hole threading applications using standard tapping chucks and tap wrenches.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping arm, or CNC tapping attachment. Always use the appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Ensure the tap is properly aligned perpendicular to the workpiece before beginning the cut. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are degraded.
