It cuts a 3\/8-24 UNF right-hand thread to a 2B class of fit using a cold-forming process that displaces material rather than cutting chips, producing stronger threads with better surface finish. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a TiCN coating, it resists heat and wear during tapping operations. The bottoming chamfer provides 1.5 to 2 thread lead-in, allowing the tap to reach full thread depth close to the bottom of blind holes. It belongs to the OSG HY-PRO NRT series and is suited for production and maintenance machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is engineered for blind hole threading in aluminum, cast aluminum, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel workpieces. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and manufacturing facilities where consistent thread quality and tool life are priorities. The TiCN coating extends tool life in abrasive and higher-volume applications. Its overall length of 2.9380 inches and shank diameter of 0.3810 inches fit standard tap holders and CNC tooling setups used by machinists and toolmakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-24 UNF thread size with 2B class of fit for standard unified fine-thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer with 1.5 to 2P lead-in for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) design strengthens threads by cold-working the material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides toughness across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating improves surface hardness and reduces friction for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction compatible with standard tapping equipment and tap holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, cast aluminum, low-carbon steel, and medium-carbon steel (material application codes P and N).

Apply appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil before and during operation; dry tapping is not recommended. Secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the tap is aligned axially with the hole before beginning the tapping cycle. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when operating in CNC or manual tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 to 2P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9380 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7520 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2520 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3810 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2860 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Aluminum, Low-Carbon Steel, Medium-Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\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: HY-PRO NRT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 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: 2866808\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750023135538,"sku":"2866808","price":73.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ec01f4bbd06e33892610ca18dc096847_21cec694-f5d7-4059-b1d2-6231d8e21f9c.jpg?v=1788913181","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-2866808-thread-forming-tap-3-8-24-unf-ticn-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
