Value Collection JY4995809 M7x0.50 Straight Flute Tap 6H Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4995809 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M7x0.50 Metric Fine internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable thread-cutting performance in production and maintenance environments. The plug chamfer style allows the tap to start cleanly in through-holes and most blind-hole applications. With 4 flutes and a D6 thread limit, it maintains consistent tolerances to a 6H class of fit. Overall length is 2-23/32 inches with a thread length of 1-1/8 inches. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance tradespeople use this tap with standard tapping handles, tap wrenches, or CNC tapping heads.

This tap is suited for metric fine threading operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials. The M7x0.50 thread form is commonly found in precision mechanical assemblies, instrument hardware, and small fastener applications where a finer pitch is required for better load distribution or vibration resistance. It is appropriate for both manual hand-tapping and machine-tapping setups where straight-flute geometry is preferred for chip control in short-chipping materials.

Key Features

• M7x0.50 Metric Fine thread form for precision threading applications
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer style for easy starting in through-holes and shallow blind holes
• 4-flute straight geometry provides stability and chip clearance in short-chipping materials
• 6H class of fit with D6 thread limit ensures consistent, on-tolerance threads
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use without specialized coolant requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose M7x0.50 Metric Fine straight flute tap compatible with standard tap wrenches, tapping handles, and machine tapping chucks that accept the corresponding shank size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with tapping operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before starting and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Always back off the tap periodically to break chips when hand-tapping in deeper holes. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use and replace if cutting edges show signs of chipping or dulling.
