Value Collection JY74527318 Straight Flute Tap M10x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY74527318 is a straight flute tap designed to cut M10x1.25 metric fine internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable thread-cutting performance in general-purpose machining applications. The plug chamfer style provides 3 to 5 chamfered threads at the lead, making it suitable for through-hole and open-ended blind-hole work. With an overall length of 2-15/16 inches and a thread length of 1-1/4 inches, this tap fits standard tap handles and machine tool holders sized for its 0.381-inch shank diameter. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians use this tap for production and repair threading tasks.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and general manufacturing environments where metric fine thread specifications are required. The M10x1.25 pitch is common in automotive, mechanical assembly, and precision equipment applications where a finer thread pitch than the standard M10x1.5 coarse is specified. It is suited for both hand tapping with a tap wrench and machine tapping on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual mills with appropriate tap holders. The D5 thread limit designation indicates the tolerance range of the produced thread, which is relevant when matching thread fit class to engineering drawings.

Key Features

• M10x1.25 metric fine thread form with right-hand thread direction
• 4 straight flutes provide chip clearance and consistent cutting action
• Plug chamfer lead with 3 to 5 chamfered threads suits through-holes and shallow blind holes
• High-speed steel construction handles a wide range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance
• D5 thread limit for standard metric fine thread fit class compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production tap for any application requiring M10x1.25 metric fine internal threads. Compatible with tap wrenches, T-handle tap holders, and machine tap holders accepting a 0.381-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the drilled hole to avoid tap breakage or cross-threading. Use a cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. For machine tapping, set spindle speed conservatively and use a floating tap holder to compensate for minor misalignment. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use — a damaged tap can damage the workpiece thread.
