Osg 1410103605 Thread Forming Tap M6x1.00 Metric Coarse

Product Description

The OSG 1410103605 is a bottoming-style thread forming tap designed for M6x1.00 metric coarse threads. Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than cut it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. This tap is manufactured from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating for extended tool life and reduced friction. With a thread length of 0.4724 inches (12.00 mm) and an overall length of 2.4803 inches (63.50 mm), it is sized for precision threading in a range of metal components. The 1-1.5P bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This tap is rated for blind hole threading applications across a broad range of metallic workpiece materials including alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel. Its D5 thread limit and 4H class of fit make it appropriate for standard metric fastener threads in precision machined parts. The HY-PRO NRT series is designed for cold-forming applications where chip-free threading and improved thread strength are priorities over conventional cutting-tap methods. It is well suited to CNC tapping centers and hand-tapping operations where consistent thread quality is required.

Key Features

• Bottoming chamfer (1-1.5P) for threading to near the base of blind holes
• Cobalt HSS construction for improved heat and wear resistance in tough alloys
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends service life across high-volume applications
• Thread forming (chipless) design produces stronger threads and eliminates chip evacuation concerns
• 4H class of fit with D5 thread limit for standard metric tolerance requirements
• Right-hand thread direction; no coolant-through passages

Compatibility

Designed for M6x1.00 metric coarse blind hole threading in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel workpieces. Material application codes P and N confirm suitability for steel and non-ferrous material groups per ISO classification.

Installation Notes

Thread forming taps require a specific tap drill size to achieve the proper pre-form hole diameter before tapping — consult the appropriate forming tap drill chart for M6x1.00 before drilling. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and apply a suitable tapping fluid or cutting oil rated for the workpiece material. Power down or disengage the spindle before changing or inspecting taps. Follow applicable shop safety and machine guarding practices during all tapping operations.
