Value Collection MSC-04609822 Spiral Flute Tap 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04609822 is a spiral flute tap designed for cutting 10-24 UNC internal threads in a wide range of materials. It features a modified bottoming chamfer, allowing it to thread holes close to the bottom while still providing reliable thread engagement. Constructed from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap is suited for general-purpose tapping applications. The 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation up and out of the hole, reducing the risk of chip packing during operation. With an H3 thread limit and a 2B/3B class of fit, it produces threads that meet standard fastener tolerances for most commercial and industrial assemblies.

This tap is commonly used in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where 10-24 UNC threaded holes are required. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials. The modified bottoming chamfer makes it well suited for blind hole applications where full thread depth near the bottom is required. It is installed using a standard tap wrench, tapping head, or CNC machining center with appropriate tap holders.

Key Features

• Modified bottoming chamfer for threading close to the bottom of blind holes
• 45-degree helix angle for fast, upward chip evacuation
• H3 thread limit for consistent 2B/3B class of fit tolerances
• High-speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose tapping
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids
• Right-hand thread direction with right-hand flute spiral

Compatibility

Designed for cutting 10-24 UNC right-hand internal threads. Fits standard tap holders and collet chucks sized for the shank diameter associated with this thread size range.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a tap wrench, tapping arm, or rigid tapping setup on a machine tool. Always use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the tapping operation. Do not reverse the tap abruptly to break chips; back off incrementally to avoid tap breakage, especially in blind holes.
