Precision Twist Drill 1012361 Spiral Point Plug Tap 1534

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1012361 is a general-purpose spiral point plug tap from the 1534 series, designed for machine tapping operations in metal and other machinable materials. It features an eccentric relieved thread form with full pitch diameter relief, which reduces friction and cutting resistance during operation. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, keeping the flutes clear and reducing the risk of tap breakage. This design results in a freer cutting action and significantly extended tool life compared to standard hand taps. It is intended for use with a machine tapping setup rather than hand operation.

This tap is suited for production and maintenance tapping in shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance environments. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-hole applications where the tap can pass completely through the workpiece. Machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical end users. The 1534 series is a well-established general-purpose line covering a range of thread sizes and pitches for common tapping applications.

Key Features

• Spiral point design pushes chips forward, reducing clogging and tap breakage
• Eccentric relieved threads with full pitch diameter relief for freer cutting action
• Plug chamfer style suited for through-hole tapping applications
• Extended tool life compared to standard non-relieved taps
• Machine tap configuration for use in drill presses, lathes, and CNC equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct production tap for general-purpose machine tapping applications in ferrous and non-ferrous machinable materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapping machine, drill press, lathe, or CNC machining center with an appropriate tap holder. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the tapping cycle. Use the correct cutting fluid for the material being tapped to optimize tool life and thread quality. Do not attempt to use this machine tap as a hand tap, as improper application can result in tap breakage or damaged threads.
