Value Collection JY4994455 Straight Flute Tap M24x1.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4994455 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M24x1.50 metric fine internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent thread form across production and maintenance applications. The plug chamfer provides a balance of lead-in ease and thread engagement depth, making it suitable for through-hole and moderately deep blind-hole tapping. With four flutes and a right-hand thread direction, this tap evacuates chips effectively while maintaining cutting stability. Overall length is 4.906 inches with a thread length of 2.219 inches.

This tap is suited for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial manufacturing environments where metric fine thread sizes are required. M24x1.50 is a common pitch for precision fasteners, hydraulic fittings, and mechanical assemblies where a finer thread engagement is needed compared to coarse pitch alternatives. It is typically used in drill press, CNC, or tapping machine setups, though it can be driven by hand tap wrenches in field repair applications. No coolant-through capability is present, so external cutting fluid application is recommended for best results in tougher materials.

Key Features

• M24x1.50 metric fine thread form for precision thread cutting applications
• High-speed steel construction provides toughness and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer with 4-5 thread lead-in balances starting ease with thread depth coverage
• Four straight flutes for chip clearance in through-hole and moderate blind-hole tapping
• D7 thread limit for controlled fit tolerance in threaded assemblies
• Right-hand thread direction, standard for the majority of threaded fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or working tap for any application requiring M24x1.50 metric fine internal threads. Compatible with conventional tapping machines, CNC machining centers with rigid or floating tap holders, and manual tap wrenches sized for the M24 shank.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using tapping machines, drill presses, or manual tap wrenches. Always secure the workpiece fully before tapping and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole to prevent thread lead errors or tap breakage. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. No coolant-through feature is present on this tap, so flood or brush-applied cutting fluid should be used externally.
