Built from cobalt high speed steel, this tap handles a broad range of materials and maintains edge integrity under the heat generated during form tapping. It is configured for 1\/2-13 UNC threads with a 2B class of fit and features a semi-bottoming chamfer, making it suitable for threading holes that require thread engagement close to the bottom. The H8 thread limit accommodates standard tolerance requirements for 1\/2-13 UNC applications. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this tap in both CNC and manual tapping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where cold-form threading is preferred over cut tapping. The semi-bottoming chamfer provides a middle ground between plug and bottoming configurations, allowing thread start-up with reasonable proximity to the hole bottom. Compatible material applications include aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloy, and titanium, giving this tap broad utility across job shop and production floor applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material rather than cutting, producing stronger threads with no chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt high speed steel construction provides heat resistance and extended tool life across tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH8 thread limit meets standard tolerance requirements for 1\/2-13 UNC Class 2B fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction for standard tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 mm thread length and 150 mm overall length suit a wide range of workpiece depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in materials including aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloy, and titanium.

Apply a suitable tapping fluid or cutting oil appropriate for the workpiece material before and during tapping. Use a torque-controlled tapping head or CNC rigid tapping cycle where possible to avoid overloading the tap in harder materials. Secure the workpiece fully before operation and follow shop safety procedures for rotating tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13 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: H8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Semi-Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 mm (0.7677 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9331 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 mm (5.9055 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3670 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2750 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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: V (Vanguard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16255\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.195 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112806\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: 1625512128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752017887538,"sku":"1625512128","price":290.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3299a5522130241ca27ef656891389e6_db43618a-cd44-4cab-b4bc-7807ab1eb894.jpg?v=1788925260","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1625512128-thread-forming-tap-1-2-13-unc-2b-h8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
