Accupro 31076-00C Spiral Point Tap M10 X 1.5 Metric Coarse

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 31076-00C is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M10 x 1.5 metric coarse internal threads in through-hole applications. Built from powdered metal and coated with titanium carbonitride (TiCN), this tap offers increased hardness and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel tooling. The 3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, making it well suited for threading through holes in production environments. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in over several threads, distributing cutting forces evenly on entry. Thread tolerance is held to class 6H with a D6 thread limit, meeting standard metric fit requirements for general mechanical assemblies.

This tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and manufacturing settings wherever M10 x 1.5 metric coarse through-hole threads are required. The TiCN finish makes it appropriate for threading steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials at moderate to high cutting speeds. It is typically used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, or tapping machines. The right-hand thread direction and plug chamfer make it a standard choice for production tapping where chip evacuation forward through the hole is acceptable.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.5 metric coarse thread form for standard metric fastener applications
• Powdered metal construction provides higher wear resistance than conventional HSS
• TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting
• 3-flute spiral point design pushes chips ahead for clean through-hole threading
• Plug chamfer with gradual lead-in distributes entry cutting forces across multiple threads
• 6H class of fit with D6 thread limit meets standard metric tolerance requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use in through-hole tapping operations requiring M10 x 1.5 metric coarse threads. Right-hand cut direction is compatible with standard right-hand tapping spindles and holders on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and dedicated tapping machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a machinist or qualified tool operator familiar with tapping operations and cutting parameters for the workpiece material. Ensure the tapping spindle or holder is properly aligned to the drilled hole before engagement to avoid tap breakage. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material. Do not use this tap in blind holes without verifying chip clearance, as the spiral point geometry is intended for through-hole applications.
