Value Collection JY4993820 M17x1.50 Plug Hand Tap Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4993820 is a straight-flute hand tap designed to cut M17x1.50 Metric Fine internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap is suited for through-hole and moderate-depth blind-hole tapping applications. The 4-flute straight-flute geometry provides reliable chip control and thread form accuracy. With an overall length of 3-13/16 inches and a thread length of 1-13/16 inches, it is sized for standard hand-tapping and machine-tapping setups where Metric Fine thread tolerances are required.

This tap is intended for machinists, maintenance technicians, and toolroom professionals working with Metric Fine thread specifications. It is commonly used in automotive, industrial equipment, and precision assembly applications where M17x1.50 threads are specified. The right-hand thread direction and 6H class of fit make it appropriate for standard fastener clearance and thread engagement requirements in metal components.

Key Features

• M17x1.50 Metric Fine thread form for precise internal thread cutting
• Plug chamfer for versatile use in through holes and moderate blind holes
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping without added coating cost
• 4-flute straight-flute design for consistent chip evacuation and thread accuracy
• 6H class of fit with D6 thread limit for standard tolerance compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tap for applications requiring M17x1.50 Metric Fine right-hand internal threads with a 6H class of fit.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard tap wrench or machine tap holder. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning thread cutting, and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Back off the tap periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage, especially in deeper holes. Always verify the correct pilot hole diameter for the M17x1.50 thread specification before tapping.
