Unlike cutting taps, this tool displaces and cold-forms material rather than cutting it, producing stronger threads with no chips. Built from cobalt high speed steel and coated with TiCN for heat and wear resistance, it is suited for demanding production and job-shop environments. The 6H class of fit and D12 thread limit ensure dimensional accuracy across the full thread form. The modified bottoming chamfer — 2.5 to 3 threads — allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes. Overall length is 4.33 inches (110 mm) with a 0.79-inch (20 mm) thread length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is engineered for both blind-hole and through-hole threading applications. Its material compatibility spans aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and titanium, making it a versatile choice for machine shops, aerospace, and toolroom work. The shank diameter measures 0.48 inches (12.19 mm), fitting standard tapping chucks and holders used in CNC machining centers and manual tapping operations alike. It belongs to the OSG EXOPRO XPF Series 16350.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) process produces stronger threads and eliminates chip-clearing in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS substrate withstands elevated cutting temperatures in tough alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2.5 to 3 threads) enables threading close to hole bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6H class of fit with D12 thread limit ensures precise metric thread geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; compatible with both blind-hole and through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, and titanium.

Ensure the pilot hole diameter is sized correctly for the form-tap process, as forming taps require a slightly larger hole than cutting taps for the same thread size. Use a torque-controlled tapping spindle or a calibrated tapping attachment to avoid overloading the tool, especially in hardened or high-nickel materials. Always secure the workpiece and confirm spindle alignment before tapping 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: M16x2.00\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: 6H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D12\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 threads\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: 4.33 inches (110 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.79 inches (20 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.13 inches (54 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches (12.19 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 inches (9.14 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.29 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: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXOPRO XPF 16350\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.256 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: 1635016202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744573784370,"sku":"1635016202","price":335.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0f5c20421f1220bbed8d1ef9eae8098c.jpg?v=1788858428","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1635016202-thread-forming-tap-m16x2-00-6h-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
