Irwin 8-32 NC HCS Plug Tap – Bulk (1124)

Description

The Irwin 8-32 NC HCS Plug Tap – Bulk (1124) is a specialized hand tool engineered for creating internal threads. This tap is specifically designed for routine maintenance, repair work, and rethreading applications where a high degree of precision and tight tolerances are not the primary requirement. Constructed from high carbon steel, this tap is built to handle general-purpose hand-threading tasks across a variety of materials. The straight flutes are precision-ground to facilitate rapid and efficient chip removal, which is essential for achieving a clean thread without clogging. By producing a standard Class 2B thread, it provides a reliable and widely compatible fit for many threading projects. This tool is a fundamental component for professionals and hobbyists who need to create or restore threads by hand.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Thread Fit: Produces a Class 2B thread for a widely compatible and functional fit.
• Versatile Usage: Ideal for maintenance, repair work, and rethreading applications.
• Chip Removal: Precision-ground straight flutes ensure effective and clean chip evacuation.
• Durability: Made from high carbon steel for strength and reliability.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Thread Size: 8-32 NC (National Coarse)
• Material: High Carbon Steel (HCS)
• Thread Fit Class: 2B
• Flute Type: Straight
• Number of Flutes: 4
• Chamfer Type: Plug (3 to 5 threads)

HOW TO USE:

1. Drill the pilot hole: Use a No. 29 drill bit to make a pilot hole into the material where threading is required. Ensure the hole is straight and perpendicular.
2. Apply lubricant: Coat the tap and hole with cutting oil to reduce friction and heat buildup.
3. Insert the tap: Align the tap straight into the hole and hold it using a tap wrench.
4. Begin threading: Turn the tap clockwise with gentle downward pressure.
5. Clear the chips: After every half to full turn, reverse the tap a quarter turn to break and remove chips.
6. Continue tapping: Repeat the turn-and-reverse process until the desired depth is achieved.
