Value Collection JY4996229 Straight Flute Tap M26x1.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4996229 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M26x1.50 metric fine internal threads in a range of materials. With 4 flutes and a plug chamfer, it is well-suited for through-hole tapping applications where chip clearance and thread accuracy are critical. The tap is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, maintaining a 6H class of fit and a D8 thread limit. Overall length is 4-29/32 inches with a thread length of 2-7/32 inches. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians use this tap in manual or machine tapping operations where metric fine threads are required.

This tap is intended for creating M26x1.50 metric fine right-hand threads in ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-hole applications or as an intermediate step in blind-hole threading sequences. It is a standard right-hand thread direction tool without coolant-through capability, making it suitable for conventional tapping setups in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use in hand tapping fixtures or CNC and manual tapping machines.

Key Features

• M26x1.50 metric fine thread size for precision thread cutting applications
• 4-flute straight flute geometry for consistent chip formation and thread quality
• Plug chamfer for versatile use in through-hole and intermediate blind-hole tapping
• 6H class of fit with D8 thread limit for standard metric tolerance requirements
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Bright/uncoated finish with no coolant-through requirement, compatible with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for applications requiring M26x1.50 metric fine right-hand internal threads in standard tapping chucks and collet holders that accept the corresponding tap shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with tapping operations and cutting tool safety. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tapping machine or fixture is properly aligned before beginning the threading operation. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Do not exceed the recommended tapping speed for the material being threaded, and back the tap off periodically to break and clear chips when working in deeper holes.
