It produces a 5\/16-18 UNC thread profile to a 2B class of fit, with a modified bottoming chamfer that allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes. Built from powdered metal and finished with a steam oxide coating, this tap is suited for use in alloy steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, titanium, and high-nickel alloys. The 3-flute spiral design directs chips up and out of the hole, reducing the risk of chip packing. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is applied in precision machining environments where blind-hole tapping in hard or gummy materials is required. The modified bottoming chamfer with approximately 1 to 2 lead threads allows threading to within a few threads of the hole bottom, making it well suited for workpieces with limited thread depth. The H5 thread limit provides a controlled oversize tolerance appropriate for 2B fit assemblies. It is commonly used in production tapping operations on CNC machining centers and manual tapping setups across aerospace, industrial, and general metalworking applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread form, 2B class of fit, H5 thread limit for controlled tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer for threading close to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute right-hand spiral design evacuates chips upward out of the hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowdered metal construction for improved wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and provides light lubrication retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for alloy steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, titanium, and high-nickel alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for tapping 5\/16-18 UNC right-hand threads in alloy steel, stainless steel, hardened steel, titanium, and high-nickel alloy workpieces.

Always ensure the tap is properly aligned to the pre-drilled pilot hole to prevent tap breakage. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material, especially when working with stainless steel, titanium, or high-nickel alloys. Power down and secure the workpiece before changing or inspecting taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\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: H5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 15 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Powdered Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel, Hardened Steel, Titanium, High-Nickel Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.719 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.445 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.318 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.126 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.238 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 313\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.049 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: 1703901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730797461810,"sku":"1703901","price":67.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1530b5ea78fc674bae662ea3e60785e4.jpg?v=1788723008","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1703901-spiral-flute-tap-5-16-18-unc-modified-bottoming","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
