Threading tool for 5/16"-22 holes

This Drill America HSS plug tap cuts internal threads in 5/16"-22 holes. It is made from high-speed steel for general machine or CNC tapping. The plug style suits through-hole work. It is intended for machinists and maintenance technicians who need to create or repair threads in metal components.

Plug style limits blind-hole use

The plug chamfer starts threads square with the workpiece but does not generate threads to the bottom of a blind hole. A bottoming tap is required when threads must reach full depth in a closed hole. This tap is therefore restricted to through-hole applications or as an intermediate step before a bottoming tap.

5/16"-22 size with .3125 decimal equivalent

The single specification that determines fit is the 5/16"-22 thread size with a .3125 decimal equivalent. Only holes drilled for this exact size and pitch will accept the tap correctly. Buyers who need a different diameter, pitch or thread standard cannot use this tool.

It confirms the major diameter is 0.3125 inch, matching a standard 5/16" drill size for correct hole preparation.

How does the HSS construction affect thread cutting in 5/16"-22 holes?

High-speed steel resists wear and heat, allowing repeated cuts in steel, aluminium, and most common metals at 22 threads per inch.
