Precision Twist Drill 1012453 Tapered Tap 1700M Series

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1012453 is a tapered hand tap from the 1700M series, designed for cutting internal threads in a wide variety of materials. Tapered taps feature a gradual lead that distributes cutting load across several threads, making thread starting easier and more controlled. At 2.125 inches in length and weighing 0.25 pounds, this tap is suited for both through-hole and blind-hole threading applications. It is installed by hand using a standard tap wrench and is appropriate for use across metals, plastics, and similar shop materials.

This tap is intended for hand-tapping operations in general machining, maintenance, and repair environments. Its tapered profile makes it particularly useful when starting a new thread in an unthreaded hole, whether working in a machine shop, an industrial maintenance setting, or a trade installation requiring field threading. The 1700M series designation identifies this as a production-grade hand tap appropriate for professionals performing repetitive or precision threading tasks.
