Built from cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish, this plug chamfer tap is suited for through-hole threading applications where thread integrity and surface finish quality are critical. The H3 thread limit and Class 3B fit make it appropriate for precision threaded assemblies. At 1.875 inches overall length with a 0.295-inch thread length and 0.559-inch tapping depth, it fits standard toolholders used in CNC and manual tapping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for threading 4-40 UNC through-holes in a range of metallic workpiece materials. Thread forming rather than cutting displaces material rather than removing it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. It is commonly used in machine shops, production environments, and maintenance operations where small-diameter, fine-tolerance threaded holes are required in alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, die steel, and hardened steel components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipless thread forming process produces stronger threads and eliminates chip evacuation concerns in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt high-speed steel construction provides heat and wear resistance when tapping harder materials including hardened steel and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 4 to 4.5 chamfered threads allows progressive thread engagement for controlled forming pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and Class 3B fit deliver consistent, precision thread geometry for tight-tolerance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, 40 threads per inch, 4-40 UNC standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright finish with no coolant-through requirement simplifies setup in standard tapping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading of 4-40 UNC right-hand threads in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel workpieces.

Apply appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material, particularly when working with stainless or hardened steel. Use a calibrated torque-limiting tapping attachment or CNC rigid tap cycle to avoid tap breakage in small-diameter applications. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned before engagement.\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\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 to 4.5P\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\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: 0.295 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.559 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 Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.110 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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\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: HY-PRO NRT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\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: 1400105900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737423610162,"sku":"1400105900","price":32.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2b18f4fecad2840307413fa212306d45.jpg?v=1788788369","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400105900-thread-forming-tap-4-40-unc-plug-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
