Manufactured from vanadium high-speed steel with a steam oxide coating, this tap handles stainless steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel. The 45-degree helix angle drives chips up and out of the flute during the cut, reducing the risk of chip packing in deep or tight holes. At 3.156 inches overall length with a 0.571-inch thread length, it is sized for standard machine tapping setups used by machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for production and maintenance tapping of 7\/16-14 UNC threads across a range of ferrous materials. The bottoming chamfer — typically 1 to 2 thread leads — allows the tap to cut threads nearly to the bottom of a blind hole, making it the correct choice when thread engagement depth is critical. It suits CNC machining centers, drill presses with tapping attachments, and manual tapping operations. The H3 thread limit provides a controlled oversize fit appropriate for standard tolerance Class 2B and Class 3B nut-fit threading applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for full thread depth in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree right-hand spiral flute evacuates chips away from the cutting zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium high-speed steel construction for extended tool life in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and improves lubrication retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for controlled Class 2B and 3B fit tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through design — compatible with standard flood or brush-applied cutting fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for tapping 7\/16-14 UNC right-hand threads in stainless steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel workpieces.

Secure the workpiece fully before tapping and align the tap perpendicular to the drilled hole to avoid tap breakage or thread misalignment. Apply cutting fluid rated for the workpiece material before and during tapping. When tapping blind holes with a bottoming tap, advance in short increments and back off periodically to break chips, especially in stainless steel.\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14\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\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, High-Carbon Steel, Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel\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: 0.571 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\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.713 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.406 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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.077 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 303\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: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0138301\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737588203826,"sku":"0138301","price":79.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6d517d5626d52f3f5149d5640096e731.jpg?v=1788790947","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-0138301-spiral-flute-tap-7-16-14-unc-bottoming-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
