It cuts a 3-48 UNC thread profile with a bottoming chamfer of 2.5 threads, allowing threads to be formed close to the bottom of a blind hole. Made from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap is built for use in soft to medium-hardness materials where cold-forming is preferred over cutting. The H3 thread limit supports a Class 3B fit. No coolant-through feature is present, so flood or manual lubrication applies during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for small-part machining, instrument work, and precision assembly applications where a 3-48 UNC thread is required in a blind hole. The bottoming chamfer style makes it the correct choice when thread engagement must extend to near the bottom of the hole. It is used by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance professionals working with miniature fastener threads in metal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer with 2.5 chamfered threads for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-48 UNC thread profile with right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for Class 3B fit tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in soft to medium materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish  -  no additional coating to affect thread geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo oil grooves  -  fluteless thread forming design displaces material rather than cutting chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style thread forming tap for blind hole applications requiring a 3-48 UNC thread form.

Use appropriate tapping fluid for the workpiece material. Secure the workpiece before tapping and apply steady, consistent torque to avoid tap breakage at this small diameter. This tap is intended for use by trained machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with thread forming operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\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\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: 1.8125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1410 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1100 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: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 10523-010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51973472420146,"sku":"10523-010","price":45.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/14237b374acddc433907c9efc288b5ba.jpg?v=1789973434","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-10523-010-thread-forming-tap-3-48-unc-bottoming-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
