Operating on a 5\/16-18 UNC thread standard with a plug chamfer and H6 thread limit, this tap displaces material rather than removing it, resulting in stronger threads and longer tap life in compatible workpiece materials. The cobalt construction provides heat and wear resistance for demanding applications. With an overall length of 2.719 inches and a tapping depth of 1.126 inches, it is suited for through-hole threading operations on CNC machining centers and manual tap handles alike. Installation is performed by machinists and tool and die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for through-hole threading in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The plug chamfer with 4 to 4.5 chamfered threads allows easy starting in a pre-drilled through hole. It is a right-hand thread forming tap suitable for production environments where chip-free tapping is required, such as aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing shops working with close-tolerance threaded assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) design produces stronger threads by cold-working the material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt construction resists heat and wear in ferrous and stainless steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH6 thread limit for controlled tolerance fit in precision threaded holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (4 to 4.5 threads) for reliable starting in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, 5\/16-18 UNC specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright finish with no coolant-through requirement, simplifying setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole thread forming in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel workpieces.

Power down or lock out any machine tool before mounting or removing the tap from the holder. Use a suitable tapping fluid or cutting oil rated for the workpiece material to reduce galling, particularly in stainless steel and hardened steel. This operation is typically performed by machinists or tool and die technicians following applicable shop safety and machining standards.\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\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\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H6\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating \/ Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\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\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 (14001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.055 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: 1400131700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740840853810,"sku":"1400131700","price":34.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f9e0a7535aeb52c331c9ab34d6077839_f2c49fe4-dbf0-4a74-bfd3-08194db6d1a0.jpg?v=1788827772","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400131700-thread-forming-tap-5-16-18-unc-plug-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
