It operates in the M2.5x0.45 Metric Coarse thread form with a 6H class of fit and a D5 thread limit. The modified bottoming chamfer — 2.5 to 3 threads — allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes. Manufactured from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating, this tap is built for demanding threading applications across a wide range of materials. It is sized for use in machining centers, CNC mills, and manual tapping operations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for both blind-hole and through-hole threading in production and repair environments. Its thread forming action is particularly effective in ductile materials where chip-free threading is an advantage. The TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in abrasive and tough-to-machine materials. With an overall length of 50 millimeters and a thread length of 9.80 millimeters, the tap is compact and compatible with standard tap holders and extension arms used in small-thread work. It is part of the OSG EXOPRO XPF series, engineered for high-performance cold-form tapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming (cold-form) design produces no chips, reducing chip management concerns in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2.5 to 3 threads) enables threading close to blind hole bottoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction provides increased hardness and heat resistance versus standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiCN coating lowers friction and improves wear resistance across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6H class of fit with D5 thread limit suits standard metric tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with both blind-hole and through-hole threading operations\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, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-nickel alloy, and titanium workpieces.

No coolant-through capability; suitable for use with external cutting fluid application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require a properly sized forming tap drill hole — consult an M2.5x0.45 cold-form tap drill chart, as the recommended hole diameter differs from standard cut-tap drill sizes. Secure the tap in a rigid tap holder or tension-compression floating holder appropriate for small-diameter taps to avoid breakage. Apply a suitable tapping fluid or cutting oil rated for the workpiece material before and during the operation. Ensure the machine spindle and workpiece fixture are properly aligned before engagement to prevent tap deflection or breakage at this small diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2.5x0.45\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: D5\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: 50 mm (1.9685 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.80 mm (0.3858 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.58 mm (0.1410 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.79 mm (0.1100 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.76 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 (Titanium Carbonitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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 16350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 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: 1635025455\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732439826738,"sku":"1635025455","price":84.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/902b7cce106ead0ff93143219212408b.jpg?v=1788742794","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1635025455-thread-forming-tap-m2-5x0-45-cobalt-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
