Century Drill Tool 97310 Metric Plug Tap 6.0x1.00 2-pack

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97310 is a 6.0x1.00 metric plug-style tap designed for hand cutting applications in metal and other machinable materials. This tap features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to deliver consistent, exact threading results on every pass. The tool is heat treated and tempered to achieve file-hard thread surfaces, extending service life and maintaining cutting performance over repeated use. Each package contains 2 taps, making it a practical choice for shops and tradespeople who keep backup tooling on hand. This is a hand-tap application tool, not intended for powered tapping operations.

The 97310 is suited for maintenance, repair, and fabrication tasks where metric M6x1.00 internal threads need to be cut or chased. Typical applications include HVAC equipment repairs, plumbing fixture mounting, electrical enclosure fastener restoration, and general mechanical assembly work. The plug chamfer style is the standard starting point for threading a through-hole or a pre-drilled blind hole where some lead-in is acceptable. Tradespeople across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical disciplines keep plug taps in their service kits for field repairs on metric-fastened equipment.

Compatibility

Designed for cutting standard metric M6x1.00 internal threads in hand-tapping applications across a wide range of machinable materials.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for hand-cutting use with a standard tap wrench — do not use in a powered drill or driver. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping, and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Back off the tap periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Follow applicable safety practices when working with cutting tools near energized equipment or pressurized systems.
