Value Collection JY4992350 Straight Flute Tap M7x1.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4992350 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M7x1.00 metric coarse internal threads in through-holes and shallow blind holes. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance across a range of workpiece materials including mild steel, aluminum, and plastics. The plug chamfer style features 3 to 5 chamfered lead threads, making it the standard choice for general-purpose tapping where a thread is started and run through the hole. With 4 flutes and a D5 thread limit, this tap suits conventional hand or machine tapping operations. Overall length is 2.719 inches with a thread length of 1.125 inches. Weight is 0.06 pounds.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where metric coarse threading is required. It is suited for right-hand thread cutting on manual tapping handles, drill press setups, CNC machining centers, and tapping arms. The M7x1.00 thread size is common in automotive, mechanical assembly, and general fabrication work. Machinists and maintenance technicians working with metric fastener standards will find this a direct-fit tap for standard M7 thread applications.

Key Features

• M7x1.00 metric coarse thread specification for standard M7 fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer with 3 to 5 lead threads for straightforward starting and general-purpose through-hole tapping
• 4-flute straight flute geometry supports chip control in hand and light machine tapping
• D5 thread limit maintains tolerance control for standard metric thread fits
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard orientation for conventional threading

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock tap for standard M7x1.00 metric coarse thread applications in hand tapping, drill press, and machine tapping setups.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with thread cutting practices. Always secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tool life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips when tapping deeper holes. Do not force the tap if resistance increases unexpectedly, as high-speed steel taps can fracture under excessive torque or misalignment.
