Unlike cutting taps, this bottoming-style forming tap displaces material rather than cutting it, producing stronger, chip-free threads with a 5\/16-18 UNC profile. It is manufactured from cobalt high-speed steel and carries a bright finish with a thread limit of H7. With an overall length of 2.719 inches and a tapping depth of 1.126 inches, it is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where thread integrity and tool life are priorities. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is built for blind hole threading in materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The bottoming chamfer — 1 to 1.5 threads — allows forming to begin very close to the bottom of a blind hole, maximizing usable thread depth. It is appropriate for both CNC machining centers and manual drill press or tapping operations where controlled feed rate and proper tap lubricant are applied. Applications span automotive, tooling, and general metalworking production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) design eliminates chip buildup in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides heat and wear resistance in tough alloys and hardened steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer (1-1.5P) enables threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH7 thread limit ensures consistent fit tolerance for 5\/16-18 UNC threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; no coolant-through required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish — no coating to flake or chip in demanding applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole thread forming in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum workpieces per material application codes P and N.

A quality tapping lubricant or cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material should be applied to reduce forming forces and extend tap life. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before engagement. Worn or broken taps should be replaced promptly, as forming taps in blind holes cannot be easily backed out if they seize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\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: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1.5P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H7\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: 2.719 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6654 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.126 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.238 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Die Steel, Hardened Steel, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HY-PRO NRT (Series 14001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.056 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: 1400130100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731904692530,"sku":"1400130100","price":34.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f9e0a7535aeb52c331c9ab34d6077839_bfc996c4-dfa1-4e35-9091-917e5f6388cd.jpg?v=1788736376","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400130100-thread-forming-tap-5-16-18-unc-bottoming","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
