It features a 5\/16-24 thread size with a plug chamfer and 3 flutes, manufactured from powdered metal high-speed steel (HSS) with a TiCN coating for improved wear resistance and heat tolerance. The tap carries an H4 thread limit and a 2B class of fit, making it suited for standard tolerance threaded fastener applications. Overall length is 5.96 inches with a thread length of 0.83 inches and a shank diameter of 0.318 inches. Machinists and maintenance technicians install this tap in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is appropriate for through-hole tapping operations across a wide range of workpiece materials including low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, alloy 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 most effective in through-hole applications where chip evacuation in front of the cutting zone is possible. It is well suited for production environments where consistent thread quality and tool life are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry for through-hole tapping with forward chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating improves surface hardness and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowdered metal HSS substrate provides a finer grain structure and increased toughness over conventional HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH4 thread limit and 2B class of fit for standard tolerance threaded holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (3-5 thread lead) for general-purpose through-hole starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; no coolant-through feature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style cutting tool for use in standard 5\/16-24 through-hole tapping applications across compatible tapping machines, CNC machining centers, and hand-tapping setups with the appropriate tap holder for the shank size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians. Secure the tap in a floating tap holder or rigid holder appropriate for the shank diameter before use, and verify spindle speed and feed rate match the material being tapped. Always apply a cutting fluid or tapping compound suited to the workpiece material to reduce friction and improve thread finish. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use and replace if the cutting edges show visible damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24\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\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H4\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: 5.96 inches (150 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.83 inches (20.4 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Powdered Metal High-Speed Steel (HSS)\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: 16535 EXOTAP VC-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 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: 1653502708\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754773872946,"sku":"1653502708","price":101.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5bc9edb55c0d88838044d8d4ef38b68c_8031e3b2-84d9-4669-be2e-e00de9922255.jpg?v=1788948639","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1653502708-spiral-point-tap-5-16-24-3-flute-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
