Made from vanadium high-speed steel with a steam oxide coating, it delivers consistent performance in ferrous and stainless steel applications. The 45-degree right-hand helix angle drives chips upward and out of the hole during tapping, reducing the risk of chip packing in blind bores. With an H2 thread limit and a 2B\/3B class of fit, this tap produces threads that meet standard tolerance requirements for general-purpose fastener applications. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for production and maintenance tapping in stainless steel, high-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and low-carbon steel. The bottoming chamfer geometry allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes, making it practical in tight-tolerance fixturing, instrumentation housings, and small-component assemblies where thread depth matters. The spiral flute design reduces cutting torque compared to straight-flute alternatives, which is an advantage in small-diameter tapping where tool breakage is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree right-hand spiral flute helix drives chips out of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for maximum thread depth in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanadium high-speed steel construction for wear resistance in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and improves lubrication retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit for consistent 2B\/3B class of fit compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute configuration balances chip clearance and core strength at this diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 4-40 UNC threads and rated for use in stainless steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel workpieces.

Always apply cutting fluid compatible with the workpiece material before tapping to reduce heat and tool wear. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping to prevent movement that can cause tap breakage. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use, as small-diameter taps are especially vulnerable to breakage under side load or misalignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B \/ 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vanadium High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.197 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.009 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, High-Carbon Steel, Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 303\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0135601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755844632882,"sku":"0135601","price":56.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4a5c415b8f40b51c5c91f724cae3cd3a.jpg?v=1788960394","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-0135601-spiral-flute-tap-4-40-unc-bottoming-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
