- Right-hand thread direction matches common fastener requirements
- Four-flute design improves chip clearance for smoother cutting performance
Tap Set for #8-32 Threads
This Westward hand tap set contains three high-speed steel taps cut to an H3 limit for #8-32 UNC threads. Each tap has a 3/4 inch thread length and an overall length of 2 1/8 inches with four flutes. The bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose threading tasks in maintenance or light fabrication.
Suited for right-hand UNC holes
The set fits mechanics and hobbyists cutting new internal threads or chasing damaged ones in standard #8-32 sizes. It will not serve left-hand thread requirements, metric thread pitches, or larger diameter holes. Users needing coated taps for abrasive materials or different thread limits should select another product.
Three taps give working headroom
A package quantity of three provides a spare if one tap wears or breaks during repeated use. The H3 limit and four-flute design handle typical through-hole and blind-hole work in mild steel or aluminium. Very hard alloys or high-volume production runs will exceed the practical life of uncoated high-speed steel.

Questions about this item
What tap wrench size fits the 2 1/8 in overall length taps?
A standard adjustable tap wrench that accepts 2 1/8 in overall length taps will work with this set.
Will these #8-32 UNC taps cut threads in an existing #8-32 hole?
Yes, the H3 limit is designed for standard #8-32 UNC threads and will clean or deepen existing threads.
How can I verify the threads are cut to the correct H3 limit after tapping?
Check the finished threads with a #8-32 UNC go/no-go gauge; the go gauge should pass and the no-go gauge should stop.
