Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OSG thread forming tap used for?
An OSG thread forming tap creates internal threads in ductile materials like aluminum, brass, and low-carbon steel without cutting. It displaces material to form threads, producing stronger, burr-free threads ideal for automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications.
What are the specifications of the OSG 5/16"-18 UNC thread forming tap?
This OSG tap has a 5/16"-18 UNC thread size, H8 / 2B tolerance class, plug chamfer, and TiN coated cobalt construction. The TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life. It is designed for general purpose thread forming in ductile materials.

How to select the right OSG thread forming tap for your application?
Select an OSG thread forming tap based on material ductility, thread size, and tolerance class. For 5/16"-18 UNC threads in aluminum or steel, use a plug chamfer tap with TiN coating. Ensure the tap's H8 / 2B tolerance matches your required thread fit. Consult OSG's technical data for optimal speeds and lubrication.
