Rather than cutting, it cold-forms threads by displacing metal, resulting in stronger threads with no chips to clear. The bottoming chamfer style, with 2.5 chamfered threads, allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap carries a Thread Limit of H7 and is suited for precision fastener applications requiring tight tolerance control. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for blind hole threading operations in materials that respond well to cold forming, such as aluminum, copper, brass, and mild steel. The 0-80 UNF thread size is common in miniature fastener applications found in instrument manufacturing, electronics assembly, and precision mechanical assemblies. The right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of threaded fastener installations. Its compact overall length of 1.625 inches makes it compatible with close-quarters setups and small workpiece fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer with 2.5 chamfered threads for threading close to blind hole bottoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-forming action produces chip-free threads, eliminating chip evacuation concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in production and job-shop environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH7 thread limit for tight tolerance internal thread production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard tapping oils and cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through requirement simplifies setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard tap holders and collet chucks accepting a 0.141-inch shank diameter, suited for blind hole threading applications requiring 0-80 UNF right-hand threads in ductile workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require proper lubrication with a tapping fluid appropriate for the workpiece material  -  do not run dry. Ensure the tap is properly aligned perpendicular to the workpiece surface before engagement to avoid thread distortion or tap breakage. Secure the workpiece fully before tapping operations, and use a torque-limiting tap holder when possible to prevent overload on this small-diameter tap. Consult the tap manufacturer drill size recommendations to achieve the correct pre-drill diameter for the H7 thread limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0-80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.110 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BXB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BALAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10007-010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51986597937458,"sku":"10007-010","price":46.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/081e8494aeec1bd401cbb17da3a8bb59.jpg?v=1789986271","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-10007-010-thread-forming-tap-0-80-unf-bottoming-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
