Century Drill Tool 97314 Metric Plug Tap 9.0x1.00 2-pack

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97314 is a 9.0x1.00 metric plug-style tap designed for hand cutting threaded holes in metal and other materials. Sold in a pack of two, this tap features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed for consistent, exact thread geometry on every pass. The tool is heat treated and tempered to achieve file-hard threads, which extends service life and maintains cutting accuracy over repeated use. It is built for hand-tapping applications where controlled torque and thread quality are the primary concerns. Licensed tradespeople, machinists, and experienced DIYers will find it well suited for repair and fabrication work requiring M9x1.00 metric threads.

This tap is intended for hand-cutting applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The 9.0x1.00 metric thread specification covers a 9 mm nominal diameter with a 1.00 mm thread pitch, a common size in machinery repair, automotive work, and general fabrication. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual lead-in suitable for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes. The two-piece pack makes it practical to keep a backup on hand or to equip two technicians simultaneously.

Designed as a standard hand tap for use in any application requiring M9x1.00 metric internal threads. Compatible with standard T-handle and adjustable tap wrenches sized for this thread range.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by hand using a T-handle or adjustable tap wrench — do not use power drivers, as excessive speed or torque can break the tap or damage the workpiece threads. Always use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to reduce friction and improve thread finish. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, particularly in deeper holes. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning to ensure straight thread alignment.
