Century Drill Tool Co Inc 97315 Metric Plug Tap 9.0x1.25

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97315 is a 9.0x1.25 metric plug-style tap designed for hand cutting internal threads in metal and other machinable materials. It features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to produce consistent, exact thread profiles on every pass. The tap is heat treated and tempered to achieve file-hard thread teeth, which extends service life under repeated use. Each package contains 2 taps, making it a practical choice for shop technicians, maintenance professionals, and trades workers who need a reliable metric threading tool on hand.

This tap is suited for hand tapping applications where a 9.0 mm diameter thread with a 1.25 mm pitch is required. Common use cases include threading repair work, fabrication tasks, and field service jobs across plumbing, mechanical, HVAC, and general maintenance trades. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-hole threading as well as starting threads in blind holes when used in sequence with a taper tap.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for hand tapping only and should be used with an appropriate tap wrench sized for the shank diameter. Apply cutting fluid or tapping compound to the tap and workpiece before threading to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Back off the tap periodically during threading to break chips and prevent binding. Never use this tap in a powered drill or driver, as hand taps are not designed for rotary machine operation.
