Value Collection JY9036559 Metric Fine Tap Set 3 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036559 is a 3-piece metric fine tap set designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. Each tap features 4 flutes ground from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, suited for general-purpose threading operations in a machine shop or maintenance environment. The set covers the taper, plug, and bottoming sequence typical of a complete tap progression. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a 1-inch thread length, and thread direction is right hand. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians reach for this set when working with metric fine thread forms that require close tolerances.

This tap set is used in applications requiring metric fine thread profiles, including precision assemblies, automotive components, and industrial machinery maintenance. The D5 thread limit designation makes it appropriate for standard tolerance fits in through-hole and blind-hole configurations. The bright uncoated finish keeps the part universally applicable across common cutting fluids. It suits both manual tapping and low-speed machine tapping setups in production and repair environments.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction provides durability for threading steel, aluminum, and similar materials
• 4-flute geometry offers chip clearance and stable cutting action
• Bright uncoated finish is compatible with a wide range of cutting lubricants
• D5 thread limit supports standard tolerance thread fits
• Right-hand thread direction for conventional tapping operations
• 3-piece set covers taper, plug, and bottoming tap progression

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental tap set for metric fine thread applications in standard tap holders and T-handle wrenches accepting the appropriate shank size.

Installation Notes

Taps should be installed and used by machinists or skilled tradespeople familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Always secure the workpiece firmly and apply appropriate cutting fluid before tapping to reduce heat and extend tap life. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, especially in blind holes. Inspect tap condition before each use and never force a tap that has stopped advancing, as breakage in the hole is difficult to recover from.
