Hertel K010460AS Thread Forming Tap M10x1.50 Metric Coarse

Product Description

The HERTEL K010460AS is a thread forming tap designed for M10x1.50 metric coarse through-hole threading applications. Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than cut it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. This tap is manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and carries a D10 thread limit designation. It measures 2.9375 inches in overall length with a shank diameter of 0.381 inches. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working in metric threading applications will find this a direct-fit solution for standard M10x1.50 work.

This tap is suited for through-hole threading in a range of metals and alloys where thread forming is preferred over thread cutting. The plug chamfer style, with 3 to 5 chamfered threads, makes it appropriate for starting threads in through holes and continuing the thread to full depth. It is commonly used in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations where M10x1.50 metric coarse threads are required. The right-hand thread direction conforms to standard metric fastener specifications used across general industrial and mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• Thread forming design displaces material for chip-free, stronger threads
• M10x1.50 metric coarse thread size with right-hand thread direction
• Plug chamfer with 3 to 5 chamfered threads for through-hole starting and full-depth threading
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of work materials
• D10 thread limit for controlled fit and thread tolerance
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation thread forming tap for through-hole M10x1.50 metric coarse applications in general industrial, maintenance, and repair threading operations.

Installation Notes

Thread forming taps require adequate lubrication and are best installed using a calibrated tap handle or machine tapping setup. Power down and secure the workpiece before tapping. Follow applicable shop safety standards and ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct form-tap diameter, which is larger than that used for cutting taps of the same thread size. Do not use this tap in blind holes without confirming sufficient material flow clearance.
