Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OSG spiral-flute STI tap used for?
An OSG spiral-flute STI tap is used to cut internal threads in steel and stainless steel for screw thread inserts. The spiral-flute design evacuates chips upward, making it ideal for blind-hole applications. This tap produces threads that accept STI (screw thread insert) fasteners, commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and industrial maintenance.
What are the specifications of the OSG 30204201 STI tap?
The OSG 30204201 is a spiral-flute STI tap with thread size 5/8"-18 UNF, ground thread tolerance H4 / 2B-3B, and 4 flutes. It is designed for threading steel and stainless steel. The H4 tolerance ensures proper fit for STI inserts, while the 2B-3B class covers both standard and tighter internal thread requirements.

Ensure the tap tolerance (e.g., H4 / 2B-3B) matches the insert and thread class required. Always use proper cutting fluid and follow OSG's recommended speeds and feeds for best thread quality.
