Unlike cutting taps, this thread forming tap cold-forms threads by displacing material rather than removing chips, producing stronger threads with a superior surface finish. Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it carries a D12 thread limit and a 6H class of fit. The 4-inch overall length makes it suitable for reaching threads in deeper or recessed bores where standard-length taps fall short. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extension tap is suited for production and maintenance machining operations where M12 x 1.75 metric coarse threads are required in blind or through holes in aluminum, brass, copper, mild steel, and other materials that respond well to cold-forming. The bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole. The BXEXT series design accommodates setups where additional reach is necessary, making it useful in jig boring, CNC machining, and manual tapping applications on deep-set workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design cold-forms threads for improved thread strength and no chip generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer enables threading to near the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch overall length provides extended reach for recessed or deep-bore applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM12 x 1.75 metric coarse thread size with 6H class of fit for standard metric tolerance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers good wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction and right-hand flute direction for conventional tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use thread forming tap for M12 x 1.75 metric coarse applications requiring a D12 thread limit and 6H class of fit in standard tap holders and extension setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require the correct drill size for the material being tapped, as the pilot hole diameter is larger than that used for cutting taps. Always apply appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material before tapping. Secure the workpiece fully and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the work surface to avoid tap breakage. This tool should be installed and operated by qualified machinists or maintenance professionals familiar with tapping procedures and tooling specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thread Forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M12 x 1.75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.367 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.275 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduced Shank\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BXEXT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BALAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19002-000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51964569944370,"sku":"19002-000","price":181.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fc4fd00bfafd9cab3a5115bb0ee54752.jpg?v=1789949185","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-19002-000-thread-forming-tap-m12-x-1-75-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
