Value Collection JY4992855 M10x1.25 Straight Flute Tap

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4992855 is a straight flute plug tap designed for cutting M10x1.25 metric fine internal threads in a wide range of materials. Made from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread-cutting performance in general machining and maintenance applications. The plug chamfer style provides a moderate lead-in, making it suitable for through-hole tapping where partial thread engagement at entry is acceptable. At 2.9375 inches overall length with a 1.25 inch thread length, it fits standard tap handles and machine tool holders used in shop and field work.

This tap is used in metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication settings where M10x1.25 metric fine threads are required. The metric fine pitch is common in automotive, hydraulic fittings, precision assemblies, and equipment repair where a finer thread engagement is needed compared to coarse pitch alternatives. It is appropriate for hand tapping and low-speed machine tapping operations. Trades that commonly work with this tap include millwrights, machinists, HVAC and refrigeration technicians, and industrial maintenance mechanics tapping threaded holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• M10x1.25 metric fine thread size for fine-pitch thread cutting applications
• 4 straight flutes provide chip clearance and stable cutting action in through-hole applications
• Plug chamfer style offers moderate lead-in for versatile through-hole tapping
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of work materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Right-hand thread direction, D3 thread limit for standard tolerance fits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or general-use straight flute tap for applications requiring M10x1.25 metric fine internal threads. Compatible with standard adjustable tap handles and machine tap holders sized for the tap's shank diameter.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or trained maintenance technician should select the correct tap drill size for M10x1.25 before beginning. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the work material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Back off the tap periodically during hand tapping to break chips and reduce the risk of tap breakage. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping, and never force a tap that has stopped advancing freely.
