Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap is suited for general-purpose hand tapping in machine shops, maintenance environments, and production toolrooms. The 4-flute straight-flute geometry provides balanced cutting action and chip clearance in through and blind holes. Right-hand thread direction, a 2B class of fit, and an H5 thread limit make it a standard choice for UNC fastener assembly work where dimensional accuracy is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in cast iron and non-ferrous metals, making it appropriate for applications in general metalworking, equipment repair, and light manufacturing. The bottoming chamfer — typically 1 to 2 threads of lead — is used as the final tap in a tapping sequence after a taper or plug tap has started the thread, allowing full thread form to be produced close to the bottom of a blind hole. It is sold individually and is part of the KENNAMETAL Series 5305 and 5303 tap families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute straight-flute design for balanced cutting in cast iron and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in production and maintenance tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2B class of fit and H5 thread limit for consistent UNC thread accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, 5\/16-18 UNC, Series 5305 and 5303\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 5\/16-18 UNC threading applications in cast iron and non-ferrous metals.

Always power down and de-energize any machine before performing tapping operations on mounted workpieces. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Bottoming taps should be used after a taper or plug tap has already established the thread lead in the hole to avoid tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.72 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\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: 5305, 5303\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4131334\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732366557490,"sku":"4131334","price":31.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8468bb46df1d8dee6982f7b0cafa85f6.jpg?v=1788742129","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-4131334-hand-tap-5-16-18-unc-bottoming-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
