Built from vanadium high speed steel (HSS-E) with a steam oxide coating, it handles threading operations in hardened steel, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and stainless steel. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, making it well suited for through-hole applications. With a 2B\/3B class of fit and H2 thread limit, it produces threads within standard tolerance ranges used in precision fastener and machine assembly work. This tap is a hand-tool or machine-threading component installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in production and maintenance threading of through-holes in a range of ferrous materials. Common applications include threading machine screw holes in sheet metal, brackets, housings, and structural components where a 5-40 UNC thread is required. The oxide coating provides a measure of lubricity and corrosion resistance that extends tool life in moderate-duty cutting operations. It is suited for manual tapping handles as well as low-speed CNC and drill press applications with appropriate tapping attachments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-40 UNC thread profile with H2 thread limit and 2B\/3B class of fit for standard tolerance threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium high speed steel (HSS-E) construction for wear resistance in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style suitable for through-hole threading operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute spiral point design pushes chips forward to clear the cutting zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, no coolant-through requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for threading hardened steel, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, and stainless steel workpieces requiring a 5-40 UNC internal thread.

Align the tap perpendicular to the workpiece surface before beginning the cut to avoid cross-threading. Reverse the tap periodically to break chips when threading manually. Do not exceed the tap's rated material hardness range, and inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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: 2B\/3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vanadium High Speed Steel (HSS-E)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.937 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.370 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\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: 300\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.011 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112806\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: 1730101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743645729074,"sku":"1730101","price":41.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bdaa7822bd39e96b64ab20568089e0d3.jpg?v=1788848907","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1730101-spiral-point-tap-5-40-unc-2-flute-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
