It cuts no chips — instead, it cold-forms 1\/4-20 UNC internal threads by displacing material, producing a stronger thread form with a smooth finish. Built from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiCN coating, this tap handles the heat and abrasion common in production tapping operations. The modified bottoming chamfer (2 to 2.5 chamfered threads) allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a thread length of 0.594 inches and a shank diameter of 0.255 inches. Part of the OSG HY-PRO NRT Series 14001 line, it is suited for licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals running right-hand threaded fastener holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is rated for use in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The TiCN coating extends tool life in abrasive and higher-hardness materials. Thread limit is H11, which accommodates plated or tight-tolerance thread fits common in precision machined components. The modified bottoming chamfer makes it well suited for blind holes where full thread engagement depth near the hole bottom is required. It does not support coolant-through delivery, so flood or spray coolant applied externally is the standard approach in production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) design produces stronger threads and eliminates chip evacuation concerns in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides heat resistance for tapping harder alloys and stainless grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating reduces friction and wear, extending service life across abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2 to 2.5P) enables threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH11 thread limit supports plated and tight-tolerance fastener fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand, 1\/4-20 UNC thread form for standard inch-series fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole threading in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum workpieces.

Secure the tap in a rigid holder with appropriate torque control to prevent overload, especially in harder steels. Apply cutting fluid or tapping compound rated for the workpiece material; flood coolant is acceptable since this tap does not support coolant-through delivery. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate are set to manufacturer recommendations for the specific material being tapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20 UNC\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: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H11\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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.594 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.255 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.191 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.933 inches\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: 14001 HY-PRO NRT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 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: 1400158908\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734886383922,"sku":"1400158908","price":41.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5b00f907580b842f58f92f5bfc6406ae.jpg?v=1788767604","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400158908-thread-forming-tap-1-4-20-unc-cobalt-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
