Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers consistent thread quality in production and repair applications. It features 4 flutes, a plug chamfer for progressive thread engagement, and an H11 thread limit classification indicating a controlled oversize of 0.005 inches for proper fit with standard tolerance nuts and threaded inserts. Overall length is 2-15\/16 inches with a thread length of 1-1\/4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for hand tapping and machine tapping operations in job shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments. The plug chamfer makes it a versatile choice for through-holes and deep blind holes where partial thread engagement on entry is acceptable. The Series 101H designation indicates it is an OSG standard production tap intended for general-purpose threading work where consistent H-limit tolerance is required across volume runs or single-piece repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread form, right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes with plug chamfer for gradual thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH11 thread limit with 0.005 inch oversize for controlled fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid across a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through requirement, compatible with standard flood or brush-applied cutting lubricants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel.

Always secure the workpiece and use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to prevent galling and extend tool life. When tapping by machine, verify spindle alignment and use a tapping head where applicable to prevent tap breakage. Power down and de-energize any machine tool before changing tooling per standard lockout\/tagout procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4134 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 Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Cast Iron, High-Carbon Steel, Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 101H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.073 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 1591300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730256134450,"sku":"1591300","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/da646d1c572b69d6cee937413754084f.jpg?v=1788714199","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1591300-straight-flute-tap-3-8-16-unc-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
