Value Collection JY4993200 M12x1.25 Straight Flute Tap

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4993200 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting internal metric fine threads in a range of metalworking applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap features a plug chamfer style and four flutes for efficient chip clearance and stable thread formation. It is sized for M12x1.25 metric fine threading with a thread length of 1-21/32 inches and an overall length of 3-3/8 inches. The right-hand thread direction and D3 thread limit make it suited for general-purpose tapping in shops producing precision threaded holes to metric fine standards.

This tap is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where metric fine threads are required. It is well-suited for tapping steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials in both production and repair work. The straight flute geometry makes it most effective in through-holes and short blind-hole applications where chip evacuation is manageable. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians commonly reach for this style of tap when working with M12x1.25 metric fine specifications.

Key Features

• M12x1.25 metric fine thread specification for precision threading applications
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping without special coatings
• Plug chamfer style for balanced starting ease and thread cutting performance
• Four straight flutes for stable cutting action and chip clearance in through-hole applications
• D3 thread limit for controlled tolerance in standard metric fine threading

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight flute plug tap for M12x1.25 metric fine threading applications in general metalworking and machining operations.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed in a tapping chuck, tap wrench, or CNC spindle appropriate for the shank size and the machine in use. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for M12x1.25 before tapping. Apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Coolant-through capability is not supported by this tap.
