Made from cobalt high-speed steel with a steam oxide coating, this tap handles demanding materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, die steel, and aluminum. It features a modified bottoming chamfer of 2 to 2.5 threads, allowing thread formation close to the bottom of a blind hole. The H5 thread limit and Class 3B fit make it suitable for precision threading applications where tight tolerances are required. Overall length is 2.9380 inches with a tapping depth of 1.2520 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for blind hole threading in production and maintenance environments across metalworking trades. It is well suited for machining shops, toolrooms, and field maintenance operations working with alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, die steel, and aluminum components. The right-hand thread direction and standard square drive shank make it compatible with conventional tapping machines, CNC machining centers, and hand tap wrenches. Material application codes P and N confirm suitability for steel and non-ferrous metal families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming design eliminates chips, reducing the risk of chip packing in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt high-speed steel construction provides heat and wear resistance in tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and improves lubrication retention during tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2 to 2.5 threads) allows threading close to blind hole bottoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit and Class 3B fit for consistent, close-tolerance thread production\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, die steel, and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole threading applications in alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, die steel, and aluminum workpieces.

Always ensure the spindle or tap wrench is properly aligned to the drilled hole before starting to avoid tap breakage. Use an appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil compatible with the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Do not use thread forming taps in pre-drilled holes sized for cutting taps, as forming taps require a larger pilot hole diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\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: 16\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\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9380 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7520 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2520 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3810 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2860 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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.085 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: 1400135101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728726327602,"sku":"1400135101","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f9e0a7535aeb52c331c9ab34d6077839_0e2b2583-365d-428e-8ce2-229903d2f7ec.jpg?v=1788695523","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400135101-thread-forming-tap-3-8-16-unc-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
