Value Collection JY4993606 Straight Flute Tap M14x2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4993606 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M14x2.00 metric coarse 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 through-hole and blind-hole threading operations in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field repair environments. It features four flutes for chip clearance and carries a D3 thread limit for use in standard tolerance applications. Overall length is 3.594 inches with a thread length of 1.656 inches. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical users.

This tap is used in manual or machine tapping applications where M14x2.00 metric coarse threads are required. The plug chamfer style, with a moderate lead-in, makes it appropriate for both through holes and deeper blind holes where a bottoming tap is not needed. It is commonly used in automotive, industrial equipment, and general fabrication work where metric fastener threads must be cut or restored.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is properly aligned before beginning the cut to avoid tap breakage or thread damage. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Do not force the tap; back it off periodically to break and clear chips during the tapping operation.
