Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than remove it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. This tap is made from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish and features a bottoming chamfer with 2.5 chamfered threads, allowing it to thread close to the bottom of a blind hole. The H5 thread limit designation indicates a controlled tolerance for consistent thread fit. It is installed by machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians working with steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BALAX 13805-000 is suited for blind hole threading operations in production and maintenance environments. The bottoming chamfer makes it the correct choice when threads must extend as deep as possible in a stopped bore. It is part of the BXB series and is intended for use in machine tapping applications where torque is applied through a tap holder or tapping head. Right-hand thread direction is standard for conventional UNC fastener engagement. One oil groove aids lubrication during the forming process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/16-14 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer with 2.5 chamfered threads for near-bottom thread forming in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit for controlled tolerance and consistent thread fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oils and tapping fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne oil groove for lubrication flow during thread forming\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 blind hole threading operations requiring 7\/16-14 UNC threads in the BXB series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps should be installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with tapping torque requirements for the specific workpiece material. Always use a recommended tapping fluid or cutting oil to reduce friction and extend tap life. Secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is properly aligned before beginning the forming operation to avoid tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when setting spindle speed and feed rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-14 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 Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.156 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.950 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.323 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.242 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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BXB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: 13805-000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972115366194,"sku":"13805-000","price":73.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/40d3d49f9a1302d53b0051e47de5618a.jpg?v=1789962881","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-13805-000-thread-forming-tap-7-16-14-unc-bottoming-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
