Irwin Hanson 8032 12-24 NC Plug Tap HCS

The Irwin Hanson 8032 is a high carbon steel (HCS) plug tap designed for creating 12-24 NC (National Coarse) threads in a variety of materials. This precision hand tap features 1 to 1-1/2 chamfered threads, making it ideal for general-purpose threading applications where threads need to extend near the bottom of blind holes.

Key Features:

• Precision ground straight flutes provide rapid chip removal for efficient threading
• Tap size and recommended drill bit size etched on tool for easy identification
• Produces a class 2B thread for standard tolerance applications
• 1 to 1-1/2 threads chamfered for plug tap functionality
• High carbon steel construction for durability and long tool life
• Designed specifically for hand threading work
• Made in USA

This plug tap is ideal for tough threading work, routine maintenance, repair tasks, and re-threading applications where high accuracy tolerances are not critical. The plug style bridges the gap between taper and bottoming taps, offering versatility for both through holes and blind holes that require threads close to the bottom.
