Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap offers a solid balance of hardness and toughness suitable for general-purpose threading operations. It features 4 flutes and a plug chamfer, which distributes cutting load across several lead threads for controlled thread entry. The overall length is 3.8125 inches with a thread length of 1.8125 inches, giving machinists and toolroom technicians a compact, balanced tool for bench or machine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading M16x1.50 metric fine holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, aluminum, and cast iron in light-to-medium production or maintenance applications. The straight flute design performs best in through-hole applications or short blind holes where chips can be cleared with proper lubrication and reversal technique. It is a common choice for automotive, industrial maintenance, and general fabrication work where metric fine threads are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM16x1.50 metric fine thread form for precise, fine-pitch internal threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute straight configuration for balanced cutting and rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (3-5 lead threads) allows gradual thread engagement and reduced entry force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides wear resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oils and standard tapping fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, D6 thread limit for standard tolerance fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard straight flute plug tap for cutting M16x1.50 metric fine right-hand internal threads.

Always drill the correct tap drill size for M16x1.50 metric fine thread before tapping, and use a quality cutting fluid or tapping oil to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping to prevent misalignment. Reverse the tap periodically to break chips when working in blind holes or gummy materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M16x1.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.8125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.21 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: JY4993754\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698140283186,"sku":"JY4993754","price":40.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cd8e089b81874b8be22ef42ea4b0caaf.jpg?v=1788358357","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-jy4993754-m16x1-50-straight-flute-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
