Built from Vanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E) with a nitride coating, this tap cuts 1\/2-13 UNC threads to a 3B class of fit with an H3 thread limit. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, making it well suited for through-hole tapping where chip evacuation matters. With a right-hand thread direction and plug chamfer, it is a standard production choice for shops running threaded fastener holes in volume. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is optimized for aluminum and cast aluminum workpieces, where HSS-E and nitride coatings perform reliably without the cost of carbide tooling. It fits the OSG Series 11016 product family. Typical install scenarios include CNC machining centers, knee mills, and drill-press tapping setups where through-holes require a clean, dimensionally consistent 1\/2-13 UNC thread. No coolant-through feature is present, so flood or mist coolant delivery at the spindle is the standard approach for production runs in aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry advances chips forward, keeping the flutes clear in through-hole operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E) construction provides toughness and wear resistance beyond standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNitride coating reduces friction and improves tool life in non-ferrous and light ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and 3B class of fit produce threads within standard tolerance for most general-purpose fastener assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, plug chamfer for straightforward entry in pre-drilled through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-oversize, uninterrupted thread form for clean, consistent thread profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimized for tapping aluminum and cast aluminum.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pre-drill hole diameter matches the recommended tap drill size for 1\/2-13 UNC before beginning the operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or flood coolant directed at the tap to prevent galling, particularly in aluminum. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and never force a worn tap to prevent breakage in the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13 UNC\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: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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 (HSS-E)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nitride\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.221 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.921 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.367 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupted Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11016\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.145 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: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1101601903\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737356992818,"sku":"1101601903","price":60.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/661a2bd7b64db9eca9c9d3df27381a62.jpg?v=1788787515","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1101601903-spiral-point-tap-1-2-13-unc-nitride-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
