Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OSG thread forming tap used for?
An OSG thread forming tap creates internal threads by displacing material rather than cutting it, producing stronger threads in ductile materials like aluminum and steel. It is ideal for applications requiring high thread strength and no chip generation, common in automotive and aerospace manufacturing.
What are the specifications of the OSG thread forming tap 5/16"-24 UNF?
This OSG tap has a 5/16"-24 UNF thread size, H5 / 2B-3B tolerance, bottoming chamfer, and TiCN coated cobalt construction. The TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life. It is designed for through or blind holes in materials up to 850 °C hardness.
Where to buy OSG thread forming taps worldwide?

How to select the right OSG thread forming tap for my application?
Select based on thread size, material type, and hole configuration. For ductile materials like aluminum or low-carbon steel, use a forming tap with TiCN coating for longer life. Ensure the chamfer type (bottoming for blind holes) matches your hole depth. Consult OSG's technical data for optimal speeds and feeds.
