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 TiCN coating, making it well-suited for demanding materials including stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and titanium. With a modified bottoming chamfer of 2.5 to 3 threads, it reaches near the bottom of blind holes more effectively than standard plug or spiral point styles. It carries a D5 thread limit and a 4H class of fit. Coolant-through construction supports internal coolant delivery during high-production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shop, production, and maintenance repair environments where precise metric internal threads are required in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its material application range includes aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloy, and titanium. The modified bottoming chamfer makes it a practical choice for blind hole work where full thread depth close to the bottom of the hole is required. It is part of the OSG Series 16150 EXOPRO XPF-OIL line, which is optimized for oil-based coolant 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides heat and wear resistance in tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoolant-through design supports internal coolant delivery for high-speed production use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2.5 to 3 threads) allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, D5 thread limit, 4H class of fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloy, and titanium workpieces.

Installed by machinists or tool and die professionals using CNC machining centers, drill presses, or tapping arms with appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the workpiece material. Use oil-based cutting fluid as specified for this series. Confirm workpiece is securely fixtured and spindle is properly aligned before operation to prevent tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M8x1.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 to 3P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.543 inches (90 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.472 inches (12 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 inches (8.08 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.238 inches (6.05 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.53 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.378 inches (35 mm)\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: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16150 EXOPRO XPF-OIL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.068 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: 1615008255\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748324573490,"sku":"1615008255","price":142.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/279692742061a87d06b545b80fafa0bf_d9d0f434-055e-447c-bfbc-f060d6c99d22.jpg?v=1788892444","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1615008255-thread-forming-tap-m8x1-25-cobalt-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
