Guhring 9045690120000 Spiral Point Tap M12 X 1.75

Product Description

The GUHRING 9045690120000 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M12 X 1.75 metric internal threads in steel and universal steel applications. Built from HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt), it delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for production threading in ferrous materials. The titanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends tool life in repetitive tapping operations. With 4 flutes and a 3 to 5 thread chamfer, this tap is well suited for through-hole applications where chips are pushed ahead of the cutting edges. Overall length is 6.0 inches with a shank diameter of 0.354 inches. This is a right-hand tap from GUHRING Series 4569.

This tap is intended for threading through-holes in steel workpieces in both manual and machine tapping setups. The 6H class of fit produces a standard metric tolerance suitable for general mechanical assemblies. It is a common choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and toolroom operators working with M12 X 1.75 fastener specifications in job shop, production, or MRO environments. The universal steel material application rating makes it appropriate across a wide range of mild to medium alloy steels.

Key Features

• M12 X 1.75 metric thread form with 6H class of fit for standard tolerance assemblies
• HSS-E cobalt construction for improved hardness and heat resistance in steel
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in high-cycle tapping
• 4-flute spiral point design pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole threading
• 3 to 5 thread chamfer for smooth thread entry and reduced starting torque
• Right-hand cutting direction, compatible with standard tapping heads and CNC machines

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole tapping of M12 X 1.75 metric threads in universal steel materials. Suitable for use with standard tapping heads, drill press setups, and CNC machining centers that accept the 0.354-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with threading operations. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the spindle is properly aligned before beginning the tapping cycle. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound to maintain tool life and thread quality. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are degraded.
