Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps cold-form the thread profile by displacing material rather than removing chips, resulting in stronger threads and eliminating the need for chip clearance in the hole. This tap is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating for improved wear resistance and tool life. The bottoming chamfer style allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it well suited for shallow or restricted-depth applications. It carries a H3 thread limit and a right-hand thread direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in metalworking and light manufacturing environments where 10-24 UNC threads are required in blind holes. The bottoming chamfer, with 2.5 chamfered threads, lets machinists and tooling professionals thread within tight depth tolerances in drilled blind holes. The BXB series designation indicates this is a forming tap optimized for ductile materials such as aluminum, mild steel, and similar metals. It is a standard choice for production threading operations in machine shops, assembly lines, and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) design cold-forms 10-24 UNC threads, producing stronger thread forms with no chip evacuation concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer with 2.5 chamfered threads for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance for production use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends tool life compared to uncoated HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for standard fit tolerance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle oil groove design supports lubrication during the forming process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole threading in ductile materials requiring 10-24 UNC right-hand internal threads.

Consult a forming tap drill chart for the correct hole diameter before use. Apply appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the material being tapped to protect both the tap and the workpiece. Secure the tap in a rigid holder to maintain alignment and prevent tap breakage, particularly near the bottom of blind holes.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\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\u003eOil Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\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: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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: 11963-01T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063590449458,"sku":"11963-01T","price":44.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/03a8c3e252cb3c33719cfd37a2a0aa1e.jpg?v=1790043469","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-11963-01t-thread-forming-tap-10-24-unc-bottoming-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
