Value Collection JY74734146 Straight Flute Tap M3x0.6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY74734146 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M3x0.6 Metric Special internal threads in a wide range of workpiece materials. It features a bottoming chamfer that allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it well suited for tight-tolerance machining work. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap provides reliable performance in general threading applications. It carries a D2 thread limit and runs in the right-hand direction. The overall length is 1-15/16 inches with a thread length of 5/8 inches. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians install this tap by hand or in a tapping machine.

This tap is used in metalworking and machining environments where M3x0.6 Metric Special threads are required. The bottoming chamfer design is particularly useful when threading blind holes that demand full thread engagement near the base. Typical applications include small component fabrication, repair work, and production threading in both job-shop and maintenance settings. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC tapping machines, and hand-tapping fixtures.

Key Features

• M3x0.6 Metric Special thread size for precise metric threading applications
• Bottoming chamfer allows full thread engagement close to the bottom of blind holes
• 3-flute straight flute geometry for stable cutting and chip management
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose threading without added coating cost
• D2 thread limit for controlled fit tolerance in standard metric applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for machine tools, tapping heads, and hand-tapping setups requiring M3x0.6 Metric Special thread form in right-hand configuration.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping machine, or CNC spindle set to the correct speed and feed for the workpiece material. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before tapping and use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tool life. When tapping blind holes, take care not to bottom out the tap under power to avoid breakage. Follow shop safety standards and consult tooling manufacturer guidelines for recommended cutting parameters.
