Built from Vanadium High Speed Steel-E with a steam oxide coating, this tap generates threads to the 5\/8-18 UNF standard at a 3B class of fit with an H3 thread limit. The three-flute, spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, keeping the flutes clear and reducing the risk of re-cutting broken chips. Overall length is 3.811 inches with a 1.910-inch thread length and a 0.480-inch shank diameter. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this tap in production and repair threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for right-hand threading in through-hole applications across a broad material range including aluminum, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The plug chamfer distributes the cutting load over several leading threads, making it appropriate for general-purpose through-hole tapping where a starter tap is not required. It is not intended for blind-hole applications where chip evacuation is restricted. The steam oxide finish provides a degree of lubricity and mild corrosion resistance during storage and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-18 UNF thread form, 3B class of fit, H3 thread limit for controlled tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point design pushes chips forward for clean through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute configuration balances chip clearance with cutting edge strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer distributes load across leading threads for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVanadium High Speed Steel-E construction for wear resistance across varied materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating adds lubricity and surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole tapping in aluminum, hardened steel, stainless steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, alloy steel, die steel, and cast iron.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for 5\/8-18 UNF before starting. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Coolant-through is not supported on this tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\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 Type\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.811 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.910 inches (1-13\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.480 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vanadium High Speed Steel-E\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupted Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 280\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.218 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: 2833401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749306827058,"sku":"2833401","price":94.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/acaaa4fc5d1861c55e5ec5d7f33ad87d.jpg?v=1788904329","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2833401-spiral-point-tap-5-8-18-unf-plug-h3","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
