Value Collection JY9036484 Metric Fine Tap Set 3 Pc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036484 is a three-piece metric fine tap set designed for threading operations that require precise, close-tolerance threads in metal workpieces. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, these taps are suited for general-purpose tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Each tap features four flutes for efficient chip evacuation and improved cutting performance. The set covers metric fine thread standards and is right-hand threaded, with an overall length of 5.125 inches and a thread length of 2.5 inches. The Thread Limit is rated D7, making it appropriate for medium-tolerance threading applications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this set.

This tap set is used in machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments where metric fine threads are required. Metric fine threads offer a tighter pitch than coarse equivalents, making them common in precision assemblies, automotive components, hydraulic fittings, and instrumentation. The set ships in a plastic case for organized storage and worksite transport. It is suitable for both manual hand tapping and light machine tapping operations, depending on the specific tap style included in the set.

Key Features

• Right-hand thread direction, the most common configuration for standard assembly work
• D7 thread limit rating suitable for medium-tolerance fits
• Bright, uncoated finish allows for easy visual inspection of cutting edges
• Includes plastic carrying case for organized storage and transport

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use metric fine tap set compatible with manual tap handles and machine tapping setups using standard tap chuck holders sized for the included tap shanks.

Installation Notes

Tap installation and threading operations should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with proper cutting speeds and lubrication practices. Always use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping oil when threading metal to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning and back the tap out periodically to clear chips and prevent tap breakage. Inspect tap cutting edges before each use and replace worn or chipped taps to avoid thread damage.
