Value Collection JY4993622 Straight Flute Tap M15x1.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4993622 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M15x1.50 metric fine internal threads. Made from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap is built for threading operations where straight-flute geometry is preferred for chip control in through-holes and shallow blind holes. The plug chamfer style provides a balanced lead-in for general-purpose hand and machine tapping. With 4 flutes and a 6H class of fit, it produces threads held to standard metric tolerances. Overall length is 3.8125 inches with a thread length of 1.8125 inches. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this tap.

This tap is suited for creating M15x1.50 metric fine threads in a variety of materials where high-speed steel tooling meets the hardness and machinability requirements of the workpiece. The plug chamfer makes it appropriate for starting in a pre-drilled hole and threading through or partway into the material. It is well-suited to both manual tapping with a tap wrench and machine tapping at controlled speeds and feeds. The right-hand thread direction follows standard cutting convention for metric fine applications in general machining, repair, and fabrication environments.

Key Features

• M15x1.50 metric fine thread profile for precision thread engagement
• 4-flute straight design aids chip evacuation in through-hole and short blind-hole applications
• Plug chamfer style provides reliable lead-in for hand and machine tapping
• 6H class of fit ensures threads meet standard metric tolerance requirements
• D6 thread limit for consistent fit across production and repair applications
• High-speed steel construction offers durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids and lubricants

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M15x1.50 metric fine plug tap compatible with tap wrenches, tapping heads, and CNC machine spindles that accept the shank dimensions of this tap profile.

Installation Notes

Ensure the tap drill size matches the M15x1.50 metric fine specification before beginning the tapping operation. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping lubricant to extend tool life and improve thread quality. When machine tapping, set spindle speed and feed rate to values appropriate for the workpiece material and tool size. Secure the workpiece firmly and confirm the tap is aligned perpendicular to the drilled hole before applying cutting pressure.
