It features a straight flute geometry suited for general-purpose hand tapping operations. Plug taps start the thread after a taper tap has begun the cut, making them the most commonly used tap style in standard threading sequences. Weighing 0.15 pounds, this tap is a lightweight, single-piece tool sold individually and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with metric fastener standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is appropriate for use in through-hole and blind-hole applications across a range of workpiece materials. The straight flute design works well in most common metals and materials encountered in general shop and field maintenance work. The 1700M series designation indicates this is a metric-specification tap, making it suitable for threading holes to accept metric fasteners in both production and repair contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug tap geometry for standard threading sequences in through or blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight flute design supports general-purpose use across a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetric specification — part of the 1700M series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually (each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose metric hand tap suitable for threading operations in through-hole and blind-hole configurations across a wide range of materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by hand using a tap wrench or appropriate holder — power tapping without the correct setup can result in tap breakage. Always ensure the hole is drilled to the correct metric tap drill size before threading. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, especially in blind-hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1700M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through Hole and Blind Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 698464036224\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRECISION TWIST DRILL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1012517\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRECISION TWIST DRILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343096545586,"sku":"1012517","price":50.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310538582.jpg?v=1782016458","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/precision-twist-drill-1012517-plug-tap-1700m-metric","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
