Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than remove it, producing stronger threads with no chips. This bottoming-style tap carries a 1 to 1.5 thread chamfer, allowing it to form threads close to the bottom of a blind hole. Built from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiCN coating, the 1400134508 handles elevated heat and wear better than standard HSS taps. It is suited for use by machinists and maintenance technicians working in production, toolroom, and repair environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is designed for blind hole threading applications across a range of metals. Its H5 thread limit and 3B class of fit make it appropriate for precision threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. The right-hand thread direction and 3\/8-16 UNC specification are common in structural and mechanical fastener applications across manufacturing, aerospace maintenance, and industrial repair work. The bottoming chamfer is especially useful when thread engagement must reach close to a hole floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material instead of cutting, producing stronger threads and eliminating chips in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer with 1 to 1.5 chamfered threads for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt high-speed steel construction provides improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life across a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit with 3B class of fit for consistent, precise thread geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, 3\/8-16 UNC thread profile — one of the most common unified coarse thread standards in industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole thread forming in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel workpieces.

Apply appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material, particularly when working stainless or hardened steel. Secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is aligned square to the hole axis before engaging. Use a calibrated torque-limiting tap driver or CNC rigid tapping cycle to avoid tool breakage in bottoming applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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 1.5P\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: H5\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: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.938 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.752 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.252 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.381 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.286 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 inches\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\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 14001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.086 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: 1400134508\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728415752498,"sku":"1400134508","price":52.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dd915784be6678313222efc5500de20e.jpg?v=1788690961","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400134508-thread-forming-tap-3-8-16-unc-bottoming","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
