Taps - Plug - UNC
Taps are tools used by engineers for creating a female thread inside a hole. The tap is inserted into a special wrench and turned whilst cutting oil is used to lubricate the tap.
When forming a brand new thread in a blind hole, it is usually a three-stage process.
UNC stands for Unified National Coarse. It is a common imperial thread type with less threads per axial distance than its UNF equivalent.
Unified thread types (UNF and UNC) were introduced at the beginning of World War 2 to enable the interchangeability of machinery manufacturing between the USA, Canada and Great Britain. Still commonly found on a vast array of old machines and vehicles in the UK, UNF and UNC threads continue to be the standard thread in the USA and Canada.
