Built from carbon steel, it features a plug chamfer for general-purpose threading where the tap can run most of the way through the workpiece. The M6x1 thread size and 4-flute geometry provide balanced chip control and consistent thread form. With an overall length of 3 inches and a thread length of 1.5 inches, the 1727 suits standard bench and machine tapping operations across metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for use in machine shops, general metalworking, and field maintenance applications where metric coarse threads are required. The plug chamfer style makes it a practical choice for through-hole tapping in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. It is typically used in hand tapping setups or low-speed tapping machines. The right-hand thread direction and 2B class of fit match the vast majority of standard metric fastener assemblies encountered in industrial and mechanical maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6x1 metric coarse thread standard for compatibility with common metric hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides 3-5 lead threads for easy starting in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute design supports chip management and consistent thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2B class of fit meets standard tolerance requirements for metric threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction suitable for general-purpose tapping in softer base materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock tap for through-hole M6x1 metric coarse tapping applications in maintenance, repair, and fabrication settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTapping operations should be performed by a machinist or qualified technician familiar with threading tools and feeds. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before beginning. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not force the tap if resistance increases sharply, as carbon steel taps are more susceptible to breakage under side load than high-speed steel alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches (76.20 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (38.10 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (6.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IRWIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1727\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699916407090,"sku":"1727","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8606aafc418fb4dd963e148b8557a4ef.jpg?v=1788383318","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-1727-straight-flute-tap-m6x1-metric-coarse-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
