Value Collection JY4993507 Straight Flute Tap M14x1.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4993507 is a straight flute tap designed to cut internal M14x1.50 metric fine threads in through-holes and blind holes where chip evacuation flows back toward the tool shank. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap provides a balanced entry angle suited to general-purpose tapping in a wide range of materials. It features 4 flutes and a D6 thread limit, which positions it for use with standard H-class fits. Overall length is 3-19/32 inches with a thread length of 1-21/32 inches. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and toolroom professionals install this tap by hand or with a tapping machine.

This tap is intended for right-hand M14x1.50 metric fine thread applications in production and maintenance environments. The plug chamfer, with its moderate lead-in, is the most common choice for starting in a pre-drilled hole and works well in both through-hole and sufficiently deep blind-hole conditions. It is suited for use in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials where a bright HSS tap meets the hardness and heat requirements of the application.

Key Features

• M14x1.50 metric fine thread specification for precise, close-tolerance fastener applications
• Plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in, suitable for both through-holes and deep blind holes
• 4-flute design balances cutting load and chip space for general-purpose materials
• High-speed steel construction handles moderate cutting speeds and a wide range of workpiece materials
• D6 thread limit ensures consistent fit within standard tolerance class requirements
• Bright, uncoated finish allows direct inspection of tool condition and wear

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production tap for any application requiring right-hand M14x1.50 metric fine internal threads, compatible with standard tap wrenches, tapping heads, and CNC tapping machines accepting the appropriate shank size.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or powered tapping machine set to the correct feed rate for the thread pitch. Always use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Ensure the tap is properly aligned to the pre-drilled hole before applying torque to avoid tap breakage. Confirm the pilot hole diameter matches the recommended tap drill size for M14x1.50 metric fine threads before starting.
