Osg 1415003608 Thread Forming Tap M10x1.00 Metric Fine

Product Description

The OSG 1415003608 is a thread forming tap designed for M10x1.00 Metric Fine threading in blind hole applications. Part of the EXOTAP VP-NRT series, it is manufactured from powdered metal high-speed steel and finished with a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating. The modified bottoming chamfer, with 2 to 2.5 chamfered threads, allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. At 2.9134 inches overall length with an 18.00 mm thread length, this tap is suited for precision threading operations performed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in metalworking and fabrication environments.

This tap is built for blind hole threading across a wide range of metals. Rated material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel, making it a versatile choice for job shops, production machining, and maintenance-repair-operations work. The right-hand thread direction and 3B class of fit with a D5 thread limit ensure dimensional accuracy in standard metric fine threaded assemblies. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in CNC tapping, rigid tapping, and hand tapping setups where controlled feed is maintained.

Key Features

• Thread forming (chipless) design eliminates chip clearance concerns in blind holes
• TiCN coating improves wear resistance and reduces friction against hardened and stainless materials
• Powdered metal high-speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance under high-speed tapping conditions
• Modified bottoming chamfer (2 to 2.5 threads) enables threading near the base of blind holes
• D5 thread limit with 3B class of fit for consistent metric fine thread accuracy
• Maximum tapping depth of 1.2520 inches (31.80 mm) in compatible setups

Compatibility

Designed for blind hole threading in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel workpieces requiring M10x1.00 Metric Fine threads with a right-hand, 3B class of fit.

Installation Notes

Thread forming taps should be installed and operated by qualified machinists familiar with tapping torque requirements and machine setup. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are properly secured before beginning the tapping cycle. Use appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound recommended for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain thread quality. Do not attempt to use this tap in through-hole applications without verifying that the thread forming process is compatible with the workpiece material ductility.
