High carbon steel machine screw plug tap for cutting standard National Coarse (UNC) 8-32 NC threads. The plug-style chamfer (3-5 threads) starts smoothly in a pre-drilled hole and produces a Class 2B fit suitable for routine maintenance, repair work, and general production tapping.

• Size: 8-32 NC
• Thread series: National Coarse (UNC)
• Flutes: 4 straight flutes for rapid chip removal
• Material: high carbon steel
• Thread class produced: 2B
• Chamfer style: plug (3-5 thread taper)

Tip: Use the matching tap drill (#29 (0.1360") for 8-32 NC) and apply cutting fluid to extend tap life and produce cleaner threads. For blind holes that need full threads near the bottom, follow the plug tap with a bottoming tap.
