Guhring 9044150140000 Spiral Point Tap M14x2 Metric

Product Description

The GUHRING 9044150140000 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in metalworking applications. Built from HSS-E cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a steam oxide coating, this tap cuts M14x2 metric threads to a 6H class of fit with a D7 thread limit. It features a plug chamfer and four flutes, producing an overall length of 3.591 inches and a thread length of 1.6535 inches. The steam oxide finish reduces friction and provides corrosion resistance during cutting operations. This tool is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and toolroom professionals working in steel stock.

This tap is configured for right-hand, through-hole threading in steel materials. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual lead-in suitable for through-hole applications where the tap can pass completely through the workpiece. With a shank diameter of 0.429 inches, it fits standard tap holders and machine spindles used in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual tapping setups. The four-flute spiral point design pushes chips forward ahead of the cut, keeping flutes clear and reducing the risk of chip packing in through-hole work.

Key Features

• M14x2 metric thread size with 6H class of fit and D7 thread limit for precise tolerance control
• HSS-E cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance in steel applications
• Steam oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection
• Four-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole threading
• Plug chamfer lead-in suits through-hole applications in production and maintenance environments
• Right-hand thread direction, no coolant-through requirement

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole threading in steel workpieces requiring M14x2 metric threads. Compatible with standard tap holders accepting a 0.429-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with tapping operations and proper speeds and feeds for HSS-E tooling. Secure the tap in a rigid holder or floating tap adapter to prevent misalignment and tap breakage. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for steel when tapping to extend tool life. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the threading operation.
