Value Collection JY4996005 M13x1.75 Hand Tap 6H Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4996005 is a straight-flute hand tap designed for cutting M13x1.75 internal threads in metalworking and machining applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers the hardness and edge retention required for threading steel, cast iron, and similar materials by hand or with a tap wrench. It features a plug chamfer with 4 flutes, a D6 thread limit, and a 6H class of fit — making it well suited for standard metric tolerance threading where a moderate lead-in and clean thread form are required. Overall length is 3.375 inches with a thread length of 1.656 inches.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where M13x1.75 metric special threads need to be cut or chased in through-holes or blind holes. The plug chamfer provides a balance between lead-in ease and usable thread depth, making it a practical choice for general hand-tapping operations on benches or in fixtures. It is a single-unit package suitable for low-volume or repair work.

Key Features

• M13x1.75 metric special thread form for non-standard metric threading needs
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Plug chamfer with 4 straight flutes balances lead-in and thread depth in both through and shallow blind holes
• 6H class of fit with D6 thread limit meets standard metric tolerance requirements
• Bright, uncoated finish allows direct use without additional surface treatment
• Right-hand thread direction for standard threading operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for applications requiring M13x1.75 metric special internal threads cut with a hand tap or tap wrench setup.

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed by a machinist or qualified tradesperson using an appropriately sized tap wrench. Always back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, especially in blind holes. Cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material should be applied throughout the operation. Secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the tap is started perpendicular to the surface to maintain thread alignment.
