Value Collection JY4994554 Straight Flute Tap M24x3.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4994554 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M24x3.00 metric coarse internal threads in through-holes and open-ended applications. Made from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance across a broad range of workpiece materials including mild steel, aluminum, and similar metals. The plug chamfer style features a moderate lead-in of 3 to 5 threads, making it the standard choice for most general-purpose tapping operations. Overall length is 4.906 inches with a thread length of 2.219 inches. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians use this tap for production and repair threading work in manual and CNC tapping setups.

This tap is suited for metric coarse threading applications in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and machine shops. The straight flute geometry is best applied to through-hole tapping in materials that produce broken chips rather than long stringy chips. With a D4 thread limit, it produces threads with a controlled oversize tolerance appropriate for standard fit fastener assemblies. It is intended for use with appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and maintain thread quality.

Key Features

• M24x3.00 metric coarse thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility
• Plug chamfer with 3 to 5 thread lead-in for general-purpose through-hole tapping
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with a wide range of cutting fluids
• D4 thread limit for controlled tolerance fit on standard metric thread assemblies
• Right-hand thread direction, 4 flutes for chip clearance and stable cutting action

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for M24x3.00 metric coarse thread applications in standard hand tap holders, tapping heads, and CNC rigid tapping setups accepting the appropriate shank size.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with speeds, feeds, and proper tap alignment for the material being threaded. Always use a suitable cutting fluid or tapping compound to reduce friction and extend tool life. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading to prevent movement that can cause tap breakage. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace when thread quality degrades.
