It features a plug chamfer, three flutes, and an H5 thread limit with a 2B class of fit. The tap is manufactured from powdered metal and carries an HR coating for improved wear resistance and heat tolerance. With an overall length of 3.543 inches and a thread length of 1.25 inches, it is sized for standard through-hole tapping operations. Right-hand cut. Intended for use by machinists and maintenance professionals requiring consistent thread quality in tough material applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for production and maintenance tapping in ferrous and high-alloy workpieces. The powdered metal substrate and HR coating make it a practical choice when cutting threads in hardened steel or stainless steel where standard high-speed steel taps wear prematurely. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, making it well suited for through-hole applications where chip evacuation is critical. It belongs to OSG Series 337NI, which is specifically formulated for nickel-bearing and corrosion-resistant alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread form with right-hand cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for standard through-hole entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowdered metal construction for enhanced hardness and toughness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHR coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry promotes forward chip ejection in through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH5 thread limit, 2B class of fit for general-purpose tolerance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for tapping 5\/16-18 UNC through holes in hardened steel, stainless steel, and high-nickel alloys.

Power down and secure the workpiece before starting. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped, particularly when working with stainless steel or nickel alloys, to reduce heat buildup and galling. Do not reverse-feed without disengaging to clear chips in deep applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\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: H5\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: Powdered Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: HR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.543 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 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\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\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Steel, Stainless Steel, High-Nickel Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 337NI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.075 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 3370516185\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739490222386,"sku":"3370516185","price":127.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/03962340bf93d16097611d258b9c2288.jpg?v=1788815165","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-3370516185-spiral-point-tap-5-16-18-unc-plug-hr","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
