Frequently Asked Questions
What is the OSG Thread Forming Tap M3x0.5 used for?
The OSG Thread Forming Tap M3x0.5 is used to create internal threads in ductile materials like aluminum, brass, and low-carbon steel. It forms threads by displacing material rather than cutting, producing stronger, burr-free threads. This bottoming-chamfer tap is ideal for blind-hole applications where threads must reach the bottom of the hole.
What are the specifications of the OSG Thread Forming Tap M3x0.5?
The OSG Thread Forming Tap has a metric M3x0.5 thread size, 6H tolerance class, and a bottoming chamfer. It is made from high-speed steel (HSS) and is designed for general-purpose thread forming. The manufacturer part number is 2868100, and the SKU is 6WGH1.

How to select the correct OSG Thread Forming Tap for a job?
To select the correct OSG Thread Forming Tap, match the tap size (M3x0.5) to the required thread dimensions and material.

Always follow standard tapping guidelines for speed and lubrication.
