Manufactured from High-Speed Steel-E-CO (cobalt-alloyed HSS) and coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN), this tap delivers extended tool life in demanding threading applications. It carries a 2BX class of fit with a modified bottoming chamfer of 2-3 threads, making it suitable for threading close to the bottom of blind holes. The overall length is 2.941 inches, thread length is 0.787 inches, and maximum tapping depth reaches 1.457 inches. A licensed machinist, tool and die maker, or maintenance technician would typically deploy this tap in production or repair threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is rated for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals, covering material application codes P, M, K, and N. It supports both blind hole and through-hole threading operations. The flute-by-diameter ratio is 3xD, and the tap features 5 oil grooves to facilitate lubrication during the forming process. It is part of the GUHRING Series 3940 and is suited for CNC tapping centers, drill presses, and manual tapping where a right-hand, form-style thread is required. Thread direction is right hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) design eliminates chip evacuation concerns in blind hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-Speed Steel-E-CO (cobalt) construction improves heat resistance and tool life in tough alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends service intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2-3P) allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 oil grooves support consistent lubricant delivery during thread forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with both blind hole and through-hole threading operations across multiple material groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for threading 3\/8-16 UNC right-hand threads in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Always apply an appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil to the workpiece before and during tapping. Secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the tap is driven on-axis to avoid thread distortion or tap breakage. Power down and de-energize any CNC or powered tapping equipment before changing or inspecting tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\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: 2BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H8\/H9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3P\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: 2.941 inches (74.70 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.787 inches (20.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.457 inches (37.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.381 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.286 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel-E-CO (Cobalt HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3940\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 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: GUHRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9039400095250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GUHRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753028518194,"sku":"9039400095250","price":81.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/16e95f8953629c82e777c3c56041c933.jpg?v=1788932240","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/guhring-9039400095250-thread-forming-tap-3-8-16-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
