Metallics 832CT2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics 832CT2 tap cut?
The 832CT2 is an 8-32 tap, so it cuts a #8 machine screw thread at 32 threads per inch. That is the common size for 8-32 machine screws used on device straps, box ears, and fixture mounting holes.
2) Is a spiral point tap the right choice for tapping through holes in sheet metal boxes?
Yes. A spiral point tap, like the 8-32 832CT2, pushes chips forward ahead of the flutes rather than backing them up the hole, which is what you want in a through hole such as a sheet metal enclosure or box ear. For a blind hole, where chips have nowhere to exit, a spiral flute or hand tap is the better pick.
3) What part number do I order for the Metallics 8-32 high speed spiral point tap?
Order Metallics 832CT2. That is the manufacturer part number for the 8-32 high speed spiral point tap.
4) Can the 832CT2 tap be used in a drill or tapping gun, or is it hand use only?
High speed steel spiral point taps such as the 8-32 832CT2 are built for powered tapping as well as hand use, which is why electricians run them in a cordless drill or tapping tool when chasing out 8-32 holes on boxes and straps. Keep the speed down and the tap square to the hole.
