Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable performance in a wide range of common shop materials. With 4 flutes and an H3 thread limit, it maintains dimensional accuracy within 3B class of fit tolerances. The overall length is 3-13\/16 inches with a 1-13\/16 inch thread length, making it a practical choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die workers handling standard unified fine thread applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for use in manual hand tapping operations or low-speed machine tapping setups where a bottoming chamfer is needed to chase threads to the base of a blind hole. The right-hand thread direction and 5\/8-18 UNF specification make it appropriate for general fabrication, repair work, and production environments where unified fine thread fastener systems are standard. It is a single-piece unit with no coolant-through capability, intended for conventional cutting fluid application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer allows threading to within 1-2 threads of a blind hole bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-18 UNF right-hand thread form for unified fine thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute straight flute geometry for chip control in through and blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit maintains 3B class of fit tolerance for standard fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oil or tapping fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard bottoming tap for 5\/8-18 UNF threaded holes in applications requiring 3B class of fit compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or tapping fixture. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid before and during the tapping operation to reduce heat and extend tool life. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before beginning the cut. For blind holes, use a plug or taper tap to establish the thread before following with this bottoming tap to complete thread depth.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-13\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-13\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSC-04476198\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723138236722,"sku":"MSC-04476198","price":30.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/deaba8ba2e007353b3a2c56fb578006c.jpg?v=1788601144","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04476198-5-8-18-unf-bottoming-tap-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
