Value Collection JY4993457 Straight Flute Tap M14x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4993457 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M14x1.25 metric fine internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap offers a thread length of 1-21/32 inches and an overall length of 3-19/32 inches. The 4-flute straight design provides stable cutting action in through-holes and shorter blind holes, making it a reliable choice for machinists, maintenance mechanics, and tool-and-die professionals working in metric fine thread applications.

This tap is suited for use in manual tapping operations as well as machine tapping on drill presses, CNC machines, and tapping arms where straight flute geometry is preferred. The plug chamfer, with its moderate lead-in, is the standard starting point for most general threading jobs where the hole allows the tap to pass through or where partial blind threading is acceptable. It is commonly used in automotive, industrial, and general manufacturing environments requiring accurate metric fine thread profiles.

Key Features

• M14x1.25 metric fine thread size for precision fastening applications
• Plug chamfer provides moderate lead-in suitable for through-holes and most blind-hole work
• 4 straight flutes deliver stable chip control and consistent thread form
• High-speed steel construction offers good hardness and wear resistance for general-purpose tapping
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Right-hand thread direction, D4 thread limit for controlled tolerance fits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental tap for M14x1.25 metric fine threading operations. Compatible with standard tap holders, tapping chucks, and hand tap wrenches accepting the appropriate square drive shank size for this tap class.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed and operated by a machinist or maintenance technician familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the drilled hole before beginning. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to reduce heat and extend tool life. Follow standard shop safety practices and refer to applicable machining standards when specifying thread tolerances and fits.
