Part of the HY-PRO NRT series, it cuts a 5\/16-18 UNC right-hand thread using a modified bottoming chamfer with 2 to 2.5 chamfered threads, allowing the tap to start close to the bottom of a blind hole. The cobalt construction with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating provides heat resistance and wear life suited for demanding threading operations in alloy steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, and aluminum. Overall length is 2.719 inches with a shank diameter of 0.318 inches and a thread limit of H5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for production and maintenance threading in blind holes across ferrous and non-ferrous base metals. Material application codes P and N confirm suitability for alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The modified bottoming chamfer makes it well suited for applications where thread depth is critical and full thread engagement near the bottom of a bore is required. It is commonly used by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working with CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction and H5 thread limit for precise tolerance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer with 2 to 2.5 chamfered threads for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt material construction provides elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life across high-volume threading cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapping depth of 1.126 inches supports full thread engagement in typical blind hole depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (cold forming) design displaces material rather than cutting chips, reducing tap breakage risk in ductile materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Adequate cutting fluid or tapping compound should be applied to extend tool life and reduce galling, particularly in stainless steel. Power down or de-energize any CNC spindle or tapping unit before installing or removing the tap from the holder. Verify machine spindle speed and feed rate are set to manufacturer recommendations for the workpiece material before beginning the tapping cycle.\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\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H5\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\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\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.055 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HY-PRO NRT\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: 1400130705\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737524207922,"sku":"1400130705","price":46.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fdb81f8c5fa4886b5d820487f670b543.jpg?v=1788789748","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400130705-thread-forming-tap-5-16-18-unc-cobalt-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
