Greenfield Threading 326539 Hand Tap
This straight flute hand tap cuts 3/8-16 UNC internal threads in a single pass. It is designed for machinists and maintenance technicians who need precise thread restoration or creation in through holes and blind holes. The H3 thread limit and 2B class of fit deliver consistent results in general-purpose applications.
TiN coated high speed steel construction
The titanium nitride coating reduces friction and extends tool life when cutting steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous alloys. A 75 percent thread drill size of 5/16 in prepares the hole for optimal engagement. Right hand cutting action matches standard threading operations across workshop and field repairs.
2.94 in overall length with 1.25 in thread length
The compact profile reaches confined work areas while providing full thread depth for 3/8 in fasteners. Three flutes balance chip clearance and cutting stability in medium hardness materials. Not suited for high volume production tapping or exotic alloys requiring specialised geometry.

Questions about this item
Will the TiN coating on this 3/8-16 tap wear off and require replacement?
The TiN coating extends tool life but will gradually wear with repeated use; replace the tap when threads no longer meet the 2B class-of-fit tolerance.
What limits continuous threading with this H3-limit bottoming tap?
Chip evacuation in deep holes is the first limit; the 1.25 in thread length and bottoming design restrict how far you can thread without clearing chips.
How much heat builds up when running this high-speed steel tap all day?
High-speed steel generates noticeable heat during prolonged cutting; use cutting fluid and allow cooling intervals to maintain the H3 thread limit and 2B fit.
