Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a taper chamfer for gradual thread engagement and a 2B class of fit for standard tolerance threading applications. With an H3 thread limit, it accommodates a controlled oversize condition suitable for plated or coated fastener applications. This tap is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals working on precision threaded assemblies where left-hand thread orientation is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for use on manual tapping operations or low-speed machine tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 4-flute straight flute design provides rigidity and chip control in through-hole applications. With a 0.875 inch thread length and 2.375 inch overall length, it fits standard tap holders and handles common production and repair threading tasks in machine shops, industrial maintenance environments, and fabrication operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-32 UNF thread form for fine-pitch unified national thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand thread direction for applications requiring reverse-thread fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer (7-10 threads) for gradual thread engagement and reduced starting torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for controlled oversize tolerancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes for rigidity and chip evacuation in through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating build-up affecting thread tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or production tap for applications requiring a 10-32 UNF left-hand straight flute tap with a 2B class of fit and H3 thread limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap should be installed by a qualified machinist using an appropriate tap wrench or machine tap holder rated for the shank size. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the surface before starting the thread. Use a compatible cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Because this tap cuts left-hand threads, confirm thread direction requirements before use to avoid scrapping the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\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\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\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: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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-04948345\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716373315890,"sku":"MSC-04948345","price":19.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ffe8757bf464716f2fdd56543445de6e.jpg?v=1788525095","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04948345-straight-flute-tap-10-32-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
