It cuts a 9\/16-18 UNF right-hand internal thread to a 3B class of fit using a plug chamfer, making it suitable for through-hole tapping applications. Manufactured from powdered metal high-speed steel (PMT15 grade) and finished with a TiCN coating, it delivers increased wear resistance and heat tolerance compared to standard HSS taps. Overall length is 3.937 inches with a thread length of 1.0 inch and an H3 thread limit. Machinists and tool and die tradespeople use this tap in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole tapping in materials including alloy steel, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, hardened steel, die steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and cast aluminum. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, making it effective in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping arms where coolant-through capability is not required. It is a strong choice for production runs where consistent thread quality at 3B tolerance is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/16-18 UNF thread form with 3B class of fit for standard tolerance through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (7-10 thread lead) for easy starting in through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowdered metal HSS (PMT15) construction provides superior toughness and wear resistance over conventional HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating extends tool life in abrasive and harder workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit suitable for standard 3B tolerance fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute spiral point design pushes chips ahead, reducing recutting and improving hole finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style cutting tool for through-hole tapping of 9\/16-18 UNF threads.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the spindle is properly aligned to avoid tap breakage. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material, even though this tap does not support coolant-through delivery. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping between uses, particularly when threading hardened or stainless steel materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16-18 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.937 inches (100 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inch (25.4 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.429 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Powdered Metal HSS (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: 16515\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.186 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: 1651503908\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739894513970,"sku":"1651503908","price":105.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e13ecf30500ef6194b13b6389aa57b06_63ebef99-5c77-4aaa-9663-6b2e2db64e80.jpg?v=1788820151","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1651503908-spiral-point-tap-9-16-18-unf-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
