Value Collection JY4992806 M10x1.00 Plug Hand Tap Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4992806 is an M10x1.00 metric fine hand tap designed for threading operations in machine shops, maintenance environments, and fabrication settings. Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this 4-flute straight flute tap produces clean, accurate internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The plug chamfer configuration provides a balance between starting ease and thread engagement, making it suitable for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes. With an overall length of 2-15/16 inches and a thread length of 1-1/4 inches, the tap is sized for standard bench and hand tapping work. Machinists and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This tap is used wherever M10x1.00 metric fine internal threads are required. Metric fine pitch threads are common in automotive, precision mechanical, and instrumentation applications where a finer thread engagement or vibration resistance is needed compared to standard metric coarse pitch. It is suited for hand tapping operations in a vise or tapping fixture and can also be used in low-speed machine tapping setups where a straight flute tap is appropriate for the material. Coolant-through capability is not available on this tap, so external cutting fluid application is recommended when tapping steel or other harder materials.

Key Features

• M10x1.00 metric fine thread size and pitch for precise thread engagement
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer for versatile use in through-holes and blind holes
• 4-flute straight flute geometry provides good chip clearance in hand tapping applications
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping without specialty coating requirements
• D5 thread limit for standard tolerance internal threads

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric fine hand tap for use in standard tap wrenches and low-speed machine tapping setups requiring M10x1.00 thread form.

Installation Notes

Hand tapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician using an appropriately sized tap wrench. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning and ensure the tap is started square to the hole to prevent cross-threading or tap breakage. Apply cutting fluid throughout the operation, periodically backing the tap off to break chips. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use, as a damaged tap can produce out-of-tolerance threads or seize in the hole.
