Unlike cutting taps, this tool displaces material rather than cutting it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. It is ground from cobalt high-speed steel for added hardness and heat resistance, and finished with a steam oxide coating to improve lubricity and resist galling. The 3\/8-24 UNF thread profile with a modified bottoming chamfer of 2 to 2.5 threads allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. Class of fit is 3B with a thread limit of H5. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this tap for precision threading applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for blind hole threading operations in production and jobshop environments. It handles a broad range of workpiece materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The right-hand thread direction and standard square drive shank make it compatible with tap handles, tapping heads, and CNC rigid tapping setups. The modified bottoming chamfer is particularly useful when thread engagement must start near the bottom of a drilled hole with minimal runout allowance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material for chip-free blind hole threading and stronger thread form\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides increased hardness and thermal resistance versus standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating improves lubricity and reduces built-up edge in tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2 to 2.5 threads) allows threading close to hole bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit and 3B class of fit for tight tolerance threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread, standard square drive shank for use with tap wrenches or machine tapping attachments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole thread forming in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum workpieces.

Apply a suitable tapping fluid or cutting oil rated for the workpiece material; this is especially important when tapping stainless or hardened steel. Secure the workpiece fully before tapping, and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole to prevent thread distortion or tap breakage. For CNC rigid tapping, verify spindle speed and feed rate are matched to the 24 TPI pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 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\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HY-PRO NRT 14001\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: 1400137401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733295399218,"sku":"1400137401","price":44.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8c3d993dd018a8715470f17691c00818.jpg?v=1788753722","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400137401-thread-forming-tap-3-8-24-unf-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
