Value Collection JY63326771 Spiral Point Tap M16x1.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY63326771 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M16x1.50 metric fine internal threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap generates threads by pushing chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, making it well suited for through-hole work where chip evacuation clearance exists. The D6 thread limit designation indicates a standard tolerance class appropriate for general-purpose metric fine threaded fastener applications. With 3 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, this tap delivers controlled cutting action in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and production environments wherever M16x1.50 metric fine threads are required. The plug chamfer style makes it the standard choice for through-hole tapping on manual machines, CNC machining centers, and drill presses equipped with a tapping head or rigid tapping cycle. Typical applications include threading holes in steel, aluminum, and cast iron components for automotive, industrial, and general mechanical assembly work.

Key Features

• M16x1.50 metric fine thread form for precision-pitch fastener applications
• Plug chamfer style optimized for through-hole tapping
• High speed steel construction for durability across common work materials
• 3-flute geometry promotes chip flow ahead of the tap in through-hole setups
• Right-hand cut, D6 thread limit for standard general-purpose tolerance
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oils and standard tapping fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production tap for through-hole M16x1.50 metric fine tapping operations on manual mills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers using standard tap holders or collet-style tapping heads.

Installation Notes

Tapping should be performed by a qualified machinist following safe machine operation practices. Always secure the workpiece properly and use a compatible tapping fluid or cutting oil appropriate for the work material. Ensure the spindle is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece surface before engaging the tap. Verify the tap holder and machine spindle are rated for the torque required for M16 tapping to avoid tap breakage.
