Value Collection JY4995866 Straight Flute Tap M10x0.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4995866 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M10x0.50 metric special internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance in general-purpose tapping applications. The plug chamfer style — with approximately 3 to 5 chamfered threads — allows the tap to start easily in a drilled through-hole or a deep blind hole where adequate chip clearance exists. With 4 flutes and a D3 thread limit, this tap is suited for standard tolerance work held to a 6H class of fit.

This tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and production environments where metric special thread forms are required. The M10x0.50 pitch is a fine-pitch designation not found in standard metric series, making this tap appropriate when precision thread engagement or fine adjustment is a design requirement. It is typically installed by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working on industrial equipment, instrumentation, or specialty fastener applications.

Key Features

• M10x0.50 metric special thread form — fine pitch for precision engagement
• 4 straight flutes for consistent chip formation in through and blind holes
• Plug chamfer for easy starting and versatile use in most tapping scenarios
• High-speed steel construction withstands moderate heat and wear in production use
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluid in most materials
• 6H class of fit with D3 thread limit for standard tolerance internal threads
• Right-hand thread direction for conventional tapping operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for applications requiring M10x0.50 metric special internal threads in through-hole or blind-hole configurations across a range of metals.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by a qualified machinist using a properly sized tap wrench, tapping head, or CNC machine set to the correct feed rate. Always use an appropriate cutting fluid matched to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Ensure the tap is started perpendicular to the workpiece surface to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage. Follow standard shop safety practices and secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the operation.
