Value Collection JY4992202 Straight Flute Tap M6x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4992202 is a straight flute tap designed to cut M6x1.25 metric special internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap is suited for general-purpose threading in through-holes and open-ended blind holes. It features 4 flutes and a 6H class of fit with a D5 thread limit, making it appropriate for standard metric tolerance applications. The right-hand thread configuration follows conventional tapping direction. With a thread length of 1 inch and an overall length of 2.5 inches, this tap fits standard tap wrenches and tapping heads used in machine shop and field service environments.

This tap is used in metalworking, maintenance, repair, and manufacturing applications where M6x1.25 metric threads must be cut or restored. The plug chamfer style — with a moderate lead-in of typically 3 to 5 threads — makes it effective as a general starting tap for most through-hole and sufficiently deep blind-hole work. It is a practical choice for machine shops, production lines, and trade technicians who need a reliable metric tap at a working-grade specification without specialized coatings.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight flute plug tap for use wherever M6x1.25 metric special internal threads are required. Fits standard tap holders, tap wrenches, and tapping heads that accept the shank dimensions of this tap size.

Installation Notes

Tapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or trade professional using appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tool life. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping, and ensure the correct drill size for M6x1.25 threads is used prior to tapping. For machine tapping, set spindle speed appropriate to the material being tapped and the tap material. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use, as a damaged tap can seize in the workpiece or produce out-of-tolerance threads.
