Precision Twist Drill 1012484 Plug Tap Metric Straight Flute

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1012484 is a metric plug tap in the 1700M series, designed for general purpose hand tapping across a wide range of materials. Plug taps feature a chamfer on the first few threads that provides a gradual start, making them suitable for both through holes and blind hole applications. This tap is driven by hand and is commonly used by machinists, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance tradespeople when threading metric holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

The 1012484 is well suited to general fabrication, repair, and maintenance tasks where a reliable metric thread form is needed. Its straight flute design makes it an effective choice for a variety of material types, including softer metals and plastics. The plug tap starting configuration works in production and field service environments where through holes are common, as well as in blind hole situations where sufficient thread depth is available.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or tradespeople using a standard tap wrench or T-handle tap driver. Always drill the correct metric pilot hole size before tapping and ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured. Apply cutting fluid or tapping compound appropriate for the material being threaded. Back the tap out periodically to break chips and reduce the risk of tap breakage, especially in blind hole applications.
