Built from High-Speed Steel-E-CO (cobalt-enhanced HSS) and coated with TiCN for extended tool life, this tap carries a 5\/16-24 UNF thread form with a 2BX class of fit. It features a modified bottoming chamfer with 2 to 3 chamfered threads, allowing threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. With an overall length of 2.72 inches and a tapping depth of 1.378 inches, it fits standard tap holders used in production and maintenance machining environments. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is rated for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals, corresponding to material application codes P, M, K, and N. Its flute-by-diameter ratio of 3xD and five oil grooves support controlled lubrication during the forming process, making it appropriate for both CNC tapping centers and manual drill press operations in job shop, maintenance, and production settings. The right-hand thread direction aligns with standard tooling conventions. It is part of the GUHRING Series 3944 program for thread forming taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction for longer tool life in abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer with 2 to 3 chamfered threads allows threading near the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-Speed Steel-E-CO (cobalt) construction improves heat and wear resistance versus standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFive oil grooves promote consistent lubrication across the thread forming zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread limit H7\/H8 provides controlled fit tolerance for precision assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metal workpieces requiring 5\/16-24 UNF internal threads with a 2BX class of fit.

Always use a thread forming lubricant or tapping fluid rated for the workpiece material to prevent galling, particularly in stainless steel. Ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece surface before engagement. Verify spindle speed and feed rate match the manufacturer recommendations for the workpiece material and tap diameter before running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\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: H7\/H8\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 to 3\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: 2.72 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7087 inches (18.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.378 inches (35.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.238 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\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: TiCN\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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3944\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: GUHRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9039440079380\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GUHRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730929058098,"sku":"9039440079380","price":74.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/febf812ec47c0e3ae784e67a707e164a.jpg?v=1788724946","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/guhring-9039440079380-thread-forming-tap-5-16-24-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
