Value Collection JY4993804 Straight Flute Tap M16x2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4993804 is a straight flute tap designed to cut internal metric coarse threads in a wide range of metalworking and fabrication applications. It produces M16x2.00 threads to a 6H class of fit, making it suitable for precision threading work where dimensional consistency matters. Constructed from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap offers solid wear resistance across common ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The plug chamfer style allows for use in through-holes and moderately deep blind holes. With 4 flutes and a D7 thread limit, it delivers clean thread form when used at appropriate feeds and speeds by a trained machinist or toolroom technician.

This tap is intended for use in manual tapping operations, drill press setups, and CNC machining centers where straight flute taps are appropriate. The M16x2.00 metric coarse thread profile is among the most common in general mechanical assembly, making this tap a practical choice for production shops, maintenance facilities, and toolrooms working to metric standards. Right-hand thread direction suits standard clockwise threading operations. The bright uncoated finish is well suited to applications where coated taps are not required, such as softer steels, aluminum, and brass.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight flute tap for M16x2.00 metric coarse threading applications in manual and machine tapping operations across metalworking trades.

Installation Notes

Tap installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always secure the workpiece firmly and use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded. Power down or disengage the machine spindle before mounting or removing the tap from the holder. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use, and do not force a worn tap as this increases the risk of breakage in the workpiece.
