Built from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating, this tap handles demanding materials including stainless steel, hardened steel, high-nickel alloys, and titanium. It produces M3x0.35 Metric Fine threads to a 4H class of fit with a D3 thread limit. The modified bottoming chamfer with 2.5 to 3 chamfered threads allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. Overall length is 2.2047 inches (56 mm) and thread length is 0.2362 inches (6 mm). Part of the OSG EXOPRO XPF Series 16350.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for production and job-shop environments where M3x0.35 fine-pitch threads are required in blind or through-hole applications. It is commonly used in precision machining of aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and titanium components. The cold-forming process work-hardens the thread flanks, producing stronger threads compared to cut tapping, making it a common choice for aerospace, automotive, and medical part applications where thread integrity matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-form (chipless) thread forming eliminates chip evacuation concerns in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides heat and wear resistance in tough alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life across a wide material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2.5 to 3P) allows threading close to blind-hole bottoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4H class of fit with D3 thread limit for consistent, standards-compliant thread geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; compatible with blind-hole and through-hole threading operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in blind-hole and through-hole threading applications across aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and titanium workpieces requiring M3x0.35 Metric Fine threads to a 4H class of fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require proper cutting fluid or tapping compound matched to the workpiece material — forming taps displace metal rather than cut it, so lubrication is critical to torque control and tap life. Always verify spindle speed and torque settings on the tapping machine or CNC prior to use; forming taps require higher torque than cut taps of the same size. Ensure the tap holder provides adequate float to compensate for lead-angle variations. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if thread form quality degrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3x0.35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Fine\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: D3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\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\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2047 inches (56 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2362 inches (6 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7087 inches (18 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1410 inches (3.58 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1100 inches (2.79 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.76 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16350 (EXOPRO XPF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.012 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: 1635003353\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736928583986,"sku":"1635003353","price":97.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/11c493f0d42562d0dfbb8f542e1ba1cd.jpg?v=1788782042","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1635003353-thread-forming-tap-m3x0-35-cobalt-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
