Greenfield Threading
Greenfield Threading 313583 Straight Flute Hand Tap Semi-Bottoming 3 pneumatic accessory
A 5/16 inch UNF straight flute hand tap with semi-bottoming design for threading operations
- Semi-bottoming design starts threads easily in through-holes
- High-speed steel body resists wear during repeated tapping
- Black oxide finish reduces friction and prevents galling
- Three flutes clear chips efficiently for cleaner threads
- Right-hand UNF 5/16-24 size fits standard fine-thread applications
Thread Size and Pitch
This CHICAGO-LATROBE hand tap cuts a 5/16 In. -24 UNF thread using a straight flute design. The semi-bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. It is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and wear life.
Build and Flute Geometry
The tap measures 2 23/32 in overall with a thread length of 1 1/8 in and features three flutes for chip evacuation. A right-hand thread direction and H11 thread limit produce a Class of Fit 1B result. The 75 percent thread drill size I prepares the correct hole for this specific geometry.
Application Limits
This tool is intended for hand tapping operations where machine rigidity is not available. The straight flute design works best in materials that produce broken chips rather than long strings. It does not suit deep holes beyond the stated thread length or high-volume production runs requiring spiral point or spiral flute evacuation.
