Precision Twist Drill 1012432 Tapered Tap 1700M Series

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1012432 is a 1700M series tapered hand tap designed for threading operations across a wide range of materials. At 2.125 inches in overall length, this tap is suited for both through-hole and blind-hole applications. It is used to cut internal threads by hand in a tap wrench or T-handle, making it a standard tool for machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and maintenance technicians working in metal, plastic, and similar substrates. The tapered lead angle eases thread-starting and reduces the force needed to begin the cut.

This hand tap is appropriate for general-purpose threading tasks in production shops, maintenance and repair environments, and field service work. Its compact size at 2.125 inches makes it practical for confined or close-tolerance work areas. The 1700M series designation indicates a standard ground-thread geometry suited to common threading standards. It is sold individually and fits standard tap wrench drive sizes.

Installation Notes

Hand taps are installed by machinists and trade professionals using a standard tap wrench or T-handle. Always ensure the workpiece is secured before tapping and use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use, and never force a tap against resistance to avoid breakage.
