Value Collection JY9036468 Metric Coarse Tap Set 3 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036468 is a 3-piece metric coarse tap set designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this set handles metric coarse threading applications across a range of diameters. Each tap features 4 flutes for efficient chip evacuation and a right-hand thread direction. The overall length of 4-15/32 inches and a thread length of 2 inches provide adequate reach for most standard through-hole and blind-hole tapping operations. This set is a practical solution for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need reliable metric threading capability.

This tap set is suited for use in general metalworking, MRO maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. It is appropriate for tapping ferrous and non-ferrous metals where metric coarse thread standards apply. The right-hand thread direction is consistent with standard metric fastener conventions. The 3-piece configuration typically covers a progression of tap styles — taper, plug, and bottoming — allowing the user to start, advance, and finish threads in blind or through holes. A Thread Limit of D7 indicates the tolerance class, which is appropriate for medium-fit metric thread applications.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 4-flute design promotes chip clearance and consistent thread cutting
• Metric coarse thread standard with right-hand direction
• D7 thread limit for medium-fit tolerance class applications
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping with cutting fluid
• 3-piece set covers taper, plug, and bottoming tap progression

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric coarse tap set compatible with standard tap wrenches and tapping fixtures that accept straight-shank HSS taps. Verify thread size coverage against the specific set contents before use.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by a machinist or maintenance technician familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Always secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and use an appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Begin with the taper tap to start the thread, progress to the plug tap, and finish with the bottoming tap when threading blind holes. Inspect taps for wear or chipping before each use to avoid tap breakage and workpiece damage.
