Precision Twist Drill 1012502 Plug Tap Straight Flute

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1012502 is a general-purpose plug tap from the 1700M series, designed for cutting internal threads in a wide range of materials. It features a straight flute geometry and a plug chamfer lead, which provides a balance between starting ease and thread-cutting depth. This hand tap is suited for use in both through-hole and blind-hole applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and pipe fitters rely on plug taps as the standard go-to thread-cutting tool for everyday tapping work across ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

The 1700M series plug tap fits general-purpose tapping operations in production and maintenance environments. Its straight flute design makes it appropriate for a broad range of materials where chip management through a spiral flute is not required. The plug chamfer allows it to start cleanly in a hole and continue cutting full threads efficiently. It is sold individually and is appropriate for manual hand tapping as well as guided machine tapping setups at low speeds.

Key Features

• Plug chamfer lead balances easy starting with effective thread cutting in through and blind holes
• Straight flute geometry suits a wide variety of materials including steel, aluminum, and cast iron
• Part of the 1700M series for consistent quality and tooling standardization
• Lightweight construction at 0.1 pounds for easy handling
• Sold individually for single-unit replacement or toolbox stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tap suitable for use with standard tap wrenches and tapping guides in through-hole and blind-hole thread-cutting applications across a wide range of materials.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a standard tap wrench or tapping fixture. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the tap is properly aligned before applying cutting pressure to avoid breakage. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped. Back off periodically to break chips when tapping in blind holes or ductile materials.
