Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than cut it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. This tap features a modified bottoming chamfer with 2.5 to 3 chamfered threads, allowing it to thread close to the bottom of blind holes. Built from cobalt high-speed steel and coated with TiCN, it handles demanding materials including stainless steel, titanium, high-nickel alloys, and hardened steel. It is sized for use with standard machine tapping equipment in job shop, production, and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for both blind hole and through-hole threading applications across a broad material range: aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloy, and titanium. The modified bottoming chamfer makes it the right choice when thread engagement must begin close to the base of a blind hole. It belongs to the OSG EXOPRO XPF Series 16250 product line and carries a 2B class of fit with an H7 thread limit, targeting standard commercial tolerance applications in aerospace, automotive, general machining, and maintenance repair operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material for stronger threads and eliminates chip evacuation concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer with 2.5 to 3 chamfered threads for threading close to blind hole floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides heat and wear resistance in tough alloys and hardened steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during forming operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, 2B class of fit, H7 thread limit for standard commercial tolerance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with both blind hole and through-hole threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloy, and titanium workpieces.

Ensure the spindle speed and feed rate are set per the workpiece material before beginning the operation. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting tooling. Do not use this tap as a cutting tap or attempt to reverse it in a formed thread without confirmed machine reversing capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H7\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: 2.5 to 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\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: 0.555 inches\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\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.238 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Die Steel, Stainless Steel, High-Nickel Alloy, Titanium, Hardened Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXOPRO XPF 16250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.071 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: 1625056187\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738785153330,"sku":"1625056187","price":142.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/97a1414e31a570fbb064964d71eb3551_9aa7ffff-6be9-4283-99f3-63831150acf1.jpg?v=1788804423","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1625056187-thread-forming-tap-5-16-18-unc-cobalt-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
