Ground from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap is built for use in manual tapping operations and compatible power tapping equipment. It cuts a 7\/8-9 UNC thread profile to a 3B class of fit, producing threads that meet standard tolerance requirements for commercial and industrial fastener applications. The H4 thread limit accommodates typical plating allowances and controlled oversize conditions. Licensed machinists and toolroom professionals are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous materials in job shop, production machining, and maintenance-repair-operations environments. The bottoming chamfer, with only 1-2 lead threads, allows threading to within a few threads of the bottom of a blind hole. The 4-flute straight flute geometry provides good chip support and hole guidance in short-chipping materials such as cast iron, brass, and free-machining steel. It is not designed for coolant-through delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/8-9 UNC thread form to 3B class of fit for standard commercial thread tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand thread direction for reverse-thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes for stable guidance and chip support in short-chipping materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH4 thread limit for controlled oversize and plating allowance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with bright uncoated finish for general-purpose tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom tap for manual and machine tapping of 7\/8-9 UNC left-hand threads in industrial and maintenance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap should be installed in a standard tap wrench or compatible tapping head rated for the shank size. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned before cutting begins. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Left-hand taps must be turned counterclockwise to advance; confirm thread direction requirements before use to avoid tool damage or scrap parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8-9 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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: H4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-7\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-11\/16 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-04918108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696530456882,"sku":"MSC-04918108","price":76.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b8f5f73bf281b34ad723327761913dd1.jpg?v=1788343626","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04918108-straight-flute-tap-7-8-9","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
