Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps cold-form threads by displacing material rather than cutting it, resulting in stronger threads and no chips to clear from the hole. This tap carries a modified bottoming chamfer with 2 to 2.5 chamfered threads and an H3 thread limit, making it well-suited for close-tolerance work in blind holes. It is used by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance professionals working in precision threading applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is rated for blind hole threading in a range of materials including alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel. Its cobalt construction handles the heat and wear generated in tougher alloys, while the TiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction during the forming process. With a right-hand thread direction and a 4-48 UNF thread standard, it fits precision fastener applications common in instrumentation, small mechanical assemblies, and fine-threaded component work across manufacturing and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design cold-forms threads without producing chips, improving thread strength in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt construction resists heat and wear when working in alloy steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life across production and maintenance use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer with 2 to 2.5 chamfered threads allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and Class 3B fit for close-tolerance 4-48 UNF thread production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole threading in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel applications requiring 4-48 UNF threads.

Apply appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material, particularly when working in stainless or hardened steel. Use a calibrated torque driver or tapping machine where possible to avoid overloading the tap in small-diameter applications. Power down any machine tool and secure the workpiece before tap installation or removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48\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: 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: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 to 2.5P\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Die Steel, Hardened Steel, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind 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 (14001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 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: 1400106505\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737920930098,"sku":"1400106505","price":36.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/586829e8be824270d4066f56fa7e5cf5.jpg?v=1788795083","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400106505-thread-forming-tap-4-48-unf-cobalt-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
