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 #6-40 UNF thread forming tap?
This OSG tap is #6-40 UNF size with H5 tolerance for 2B-3B class fit, plug chamfer, and TiN coated cobalt construction. The TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life. It is designed for through-hole or blind-hole threading in ductile materials.

How to select the right OSG thread forming tap for my application?
Select based on thread size (e.g., #6-40 UNF), material ductility, and hole type. Use a forming tap for materials that flow well, like aluminum or brass. Ensure the tap's tolerance (H5) matches the required thread class (2B-3B). Consult OSG's application guide for optimal speeds and lubrication.
