Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than removing chips, producing stronger threads with a better surface finish. This tap is manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish and carries an H3 thread limit designation, indicating a close-tolerance fit suitable for standard 10-24 UNC work. At 2.375 inches overall length with a bottoming chamfer of approximately 2.5 threads, it is built to reach the bottom of shallow blind holes where thread engagement must start close to the hole floor. Machinists, tool and die makers, and general metalworking professionals are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for blind hole threading in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where chip-free thread forming is preferred. The bottoming chamfer geometry makes it the correct choice for finishing threads in holes that have already been started with a taper or plug tap, or for threading close to the bottom of a drilled blind hole in a single operation when material is ductile enough to cold-form. It is used in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments requiring consistent 10-24 UNC thread quality in tight-clearance locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer with approximately 2.5 chamfered threads for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of metalworking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for consistent, close-tolerance 10-24 UNC thread production\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, standard for UNC fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle oil groove design to aid lubrication during the forming operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oils and forming lubricants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use thread forming tap for any application requiring 10-24 UNC right-hand internal threads in blind hole configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require the correct forming tap drill size, which differs from standard cut-tap drill charts  -  consult a thread forming drill size chart specific to 10-24 UNC before drilling. Secure the workpiece and use a calibrated tap handle or CNC tapping attachment to maintain axial alignment and avoid tap breakage. Apply a suitable thread forming lubricant or cutting oil throughout the operation. Always verify the hole depth allows for the required tapping depth before starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-24 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\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 Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.194 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.152 inches\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\u003eOil Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BXB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 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: 11963-010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51994325614898,"sku":"11963-010","price":37.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2cb074edaf67912fb4252332529ec959.jpg?v=1789991838","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-11963-010-thread-forming-tap-10-24-unc-bottoming-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
