Built from cobalt high-speed steel and coated with TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride), it delivers the hardness and lubricity needed for forming internal threads without cutting a chip. The bottoming chamfer — 1 to 1.5 chamfered threads — allows threading to the bottom of a blind hole with minimal clearance. Thread limit is H7, suited for tight-tolerance work. Overall length is 2.719 inches with a shank diameter of 0.318 inches. This tap is used by machinists and tooling technicians across production and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is rated for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Its thread forming — rather than cutting — action displaces material rather than removing it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear from the hole. It is well suited for CNC tapping centers, manual drill presses, and hand tapping operations where blind holes require threading close to the bottom of the bore. The HY-PRO NRT series from OSG is targeted at shops running mixed-material jobs that need consistent thread quality across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer (1 to 1.5 threads) enables threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides heat and wear resistance in tough alloys and hardened steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life compared to uncoated taps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH7 thread limit ensures consistent fit for close-tolerance 5\/16-18 UNC threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (cold-forming) action produces chip-free threads with improved tensile strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; no coolant-through requirement simplifies setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum per OSG material application codes P and N.

Apply tapping fluid or cutting oil appropriate for the workpiece material before starting; TiCN coating reduces but does not eliminate the need for lubrication in ferrous materials. Ensure the spindle or tap guide is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece surface before engagement to avoid thread lean or tap breakage. When tapping blind holes, set a depth stop to prevent the tap from bottoming out under torque.\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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 to 1.5 threads\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride)\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: 0.665 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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\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: 0.057 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: 1400130108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752679211314,"sku":"1400130108","price":46.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f9e0a7535aeb52c331c9ab34d6077839_bd6d0710-cfee-41bf-841f-992c60a9e221.jpg?v=1788929711","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400130108-thread-forming-tap-5-16-18-unc-bottoming-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
