It produces a 5\/16-24 UNF left-hand thread with a taper chamfer that guides the tap into the hole gradually, reducing the force needed to start the cut. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap handles general-purpose threading in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The H3 thread limit keeps the finished thread within a controlled tolerance range, making it suitable for applications requiring a 3B class of fit. Thread length is 1 inch and overall length is 2-23\/32 inches. Machinists and maintenance technicians reach for this style of tap for through-hole threading operations on manual or CNC equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in applications where a left-hand internal thread is required, such as assemblies that must resist loosening under counterclockwise rotation. The taper chamfer style is well suited for through-holes where there is clearance for the tap to exit the workpiece. It is commonly used in job shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where 5\/16-24 UNF threaded connections are standard. The 4-flute design provides good chip clearance and thread finish on ductile materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand thread direction for applications requiring reverse-thread fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer distributes cutting load over multiple teeth for easier starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit provides controlled tolerance for 3B class of fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 flutes for effective chip evacuation in through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles a wide range of work materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard straight flute tap for cutting 5\/16-24 UNF internal left-hand threads in through-hole applications across general machining and maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping head, or machine spindle. Before tapping, verify the correct tap drill size for a 5\/16-24 thread and ensure the hole is properly deburred. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Left-hand taps must be rotated counterclockwise to cut and should not be forced if resistance increases suddenly, as this can result in tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-23\/32 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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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-04911269\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716021584178,"sku":"MSC-04911269","price":20.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2bf81e064f58e278306e697888a813cc.jpg?v=1788521127","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04911269-straight-flute-tap-5-16-24-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
