OSG Thread Forming Tap: M3x0.5 Metric, RH5 / 6H, Bottoming Chamfer

The OSG Thread Forming Tap M3x0.5 is designed for forming internal threads in aluminum and other ductile materials. It uses a cold-forming process that displaces material rather than cutting it, producing stronger threads with no chips. This tap is ideal for high-speed production in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications.

The OSG Thread Forming Tap model 8315055 has a metric M3x0.5 thread size with a RH5 / 6H tolerance class. It features a bottoming chamfer for threading to the bottom of blind holes and is made from carbide for extended tool life. This tap is suitable for aluminum and non-ferrous materials.

To select the correct OSG thread forming tap for aluminum, match the tap's thread size (e.g., M3x0.5) and tolerance class (RH5 / 6H) to your application. Choose a bottoming chamfer for blind holes or a plug chamfer for through holes. Carbide taps like this OSG model offer longer life in abrasive aluminum alloys. Always use proper lubrication.
