Value Collection JY9036344 Metric Fine Tap Set 3 Piece

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036344 is a 3-piece metric fine tap set designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this set handles metric fine thread profiles across a range of sizes. Each tap features 4 flutes for efficient chip evacuation and right-hand thread direction. The overall length is 2-15/16 inches with a thread length of 1-1/4 inches. The D6 thread limit designation indicates a tight tolerance class suited for precision threading applications. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This tap set is appropriate for threading operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where metric fine thread engagement is required. Metric fine threads are commonly specified in automotive, aerospace, and precision mechanical assemblies where finer pitch provides greater tensile strength and improved resistance to loosening under vibration. The set is suited for use in manual tapping operations or low-speed machine tapping setups in shop or field environments.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across a broad range of metal types
• 4-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during threading
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard metric fine fastener orientation
• D6 thread limit for tight-tolerance, precision-fit thread forms
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with appropriate cutting fluids
• Compact 2-15/16-inch overall length fits standard tap wrenches and holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric fine tap set compatible with standard tap wrenches, T-handle holders, and low-speed tapping attachments that accept industry-standard tap shank sizes.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Always secure the workpiece firmly and use a suitable cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life. Apply consistent downward pressure with periodic reversal to break chips and prevent tap binding. Avoid exceeding the recommended speed range for high-speed steel taps to prevent premature wear or breakage.
