Value Collection 440-4754 M17 X 1.5 Metric Fine Tap Set

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 440-4754 is a 3-piece metric fine tap set designed to cut M17 x 1.5 internal threads in metal workpieces. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this set handles threading operations where standard coarse thread pitches are not specified. The 4-flute geometry promotes chip evacuation and thread accuracy in through-hole and blind-hole applications. Overall length is 4-1/32 inches with a thread length of 1-13/16 inches. The right-hand thread direction suits the vast majority of fastener and fitting applications. The set is stored and shipped in a plastic case for organized tool storage.

This tap set is used in machining, maintenance, and repair work where M17 x 1.5 metric fine threads must be cut or restored. It is suited for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a finer pitch than standard M17 coarse thread is required. Typical applications include automotive, industrial equipment, and precision mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users. The plastic case keeps all three taps organized and protected between uses.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with cutting tool speeds, feeds, and lubrication requirements. Always secure the workpiece firmly before beginning and use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped. Inspect tap shanks and flutes before use and replace any tap showing signs of wear or damage. Follow applicable shop safety standards for rotating machinery when using these taps in a drill press or tapping machine.
