Value Collection JY4993259 M12x1.50 Straight Flute Tap

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4993259 is a straight flute tap designed to cut M12x1.50 metric fine 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 hand tapping and machine tapping operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. With 4 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, it produces clean, accurate threads in through-holes and blind holes where chip clearance allows. The overall length is 3.375 inches, and the thread length is 1.6875 inches, making it a standard-profile tap for general machining work. Weight is 0.74 pounds.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where metric fine threading is required. The M12x1.50 pitch is common in automotive, industrial, and precision assembly applications where a finer thread pitch than the coarse standard is needed for greater holding strength or vibration resistance. It is appropriate for use in drill press tapping attachments, CNC tapping cycles, or manual tap handles by machinists and maintenance technicians.

Key Features

• M12x1.50 metric fine thread form for precision and vibration-resistant fastening applications
• Plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in, suitable for both through-holes and most blind-hole applications
• 4-flute straight design handles chip management in shorter chipping materials
• High-speed steel construction offers good wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains base HSS properties without additional coating variables
• D5 thread limit provides a consistent tolerance class for standard metric fine thread fits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for standard M12x1.50 metric fine threading operations across general machining and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of this tap is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap handle, tapping attachment, or CNC spindle with synchronized feed. Always ensure the tap is properly aligned with the drilled pilot hole before applying torque to prevent breakage. Power down or disengage any machine before changing or securing the tap in a holder. Cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material should be applied to extend tap life and improve thread quality.
