Century Drill Tool Co Inc 95009 1/4-20 Ns Plug Tap 2 Pack

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 95009 is a 1/4-20 national standard plug-style machine screw tap designed for hand cutting applications. The tap features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to produce consistent, exact threading in each use. Heat treatment and tempering processes create hard, durable threads that extend the working life of the tap. This tool is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need reliable thread cutting in metal and similar materials by hand. The package includes 2 taps per unit.

The 95009 plug tap is used in hand threading operations where a 1/4-20 national standard thread profile is required. Plug taps are the most common tap style for general threading work, starting threads partway through a through-hole or continuing threads in a partially tapped hole. This tap is appropriate for light industrial, mechanical, and facilities maintenance applications where manual thread cutting tools are preferred over power-driven methods.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 national standard thread specification for consistent fitment with standard fasteners
• Plug-style design suitable for general hand threading in through-holes and blind holes
• Precision-cut threads accurately formed for repeatable, exact threading results
• Heat treated and tempered construction for hard, long-lasting cutting edges
• Packaged as a 2-tap set for backup availability on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hand tap for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 national standard plug tap thread profile.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard tap wrench sized for the tap shank. Before tapping, ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for a 1/4-20 thread and that the workpiece is securely fixtured. Apply cutting fluid or tapping oil to reduce friction and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically during threading to break chips and prevent tap binding or breakage.
