Built from powdered metal (grade PMT15) and finished with a TICN coating, this tap delivers the hardness and lubricity needed for production tapping in demanding materials including stainless steel, hardened steel, and cast iron. It features a 45-degree helix angle that efficiently evacuates chips upward out of the hole, reducing the risk of chip packing in blind-hole applications. With an overall length of 110 millimeters and a 16 millimeter thread length, the 1650002108 is sized for typical M16 tapping operations in machined components. A licensed machinist or CNC operator would be the typical end user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for blind-hole and through-hole tapping operations in production machining, toolroom, and maintenance environments. The modified bottoming chamfer allows threading closer to the bottom of a blind hole than a standard taper or plug chamfer. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, hardened steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and stainless steel. It carries a 6H class of fit and a D7 thread limit, making it appropriate for standard metric tolerance threading requirements across these material categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM16x2.00 metric coarse thread form with right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes upward chip evacuation in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowdered metal construction (grade PMT15) provides increased hardness and wear resistance over HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTICN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6H class of fit with D7 thread limit for standard metric tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in alloy steel, aluminum, cast aluminum, cast iron, hardened steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and stainless steel workpieces.

Power down and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Use the appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material to maximize tool life and thread quality. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use and do not force a worn tap, as breakage in the bore can result in costly rework.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: Modified Bottoming\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: D7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 110 millimeters (3.937 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.367 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.933 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Powdered Metal, Grade PMT15\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: 16500\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.214 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: 1650002108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738243727666,"sku":"1650002108","price":174.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b9043786a579e7b5a947967ab0c6b1d5.jpg?v=1788797196","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1650002108-spiral-flute-tap-m16x2-00-3-flutes-6h","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
