Value Collection JY9036690 Straight Flute Tap M15x0.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036690 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting internal metric special threads in a shop or production environment. Configured in M15x0.5 with a 4-flute geometry and a bottoming chamfer, this tap threads holes to within close proximity of a blind hole bottom. It is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and holds a 6H class of fit with a D3 thread limit. At 3.8125 inches overall length with a 1.8125-inch thread length, it suits standard tapping operations on precision components requiring tight metric thread tolerances.

This tap is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where metric special thread profiles are required. The bottoming chamfer makes it appropriate for blind-hole applications where a plug or taper tap cannot achieve full thread depth. It is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with metric fastener specifications outside standard coarse or fine pitch series. Right-hand thread direction applies to conventional tapping setups.

Key Features

• M15x0.5 metric special thread profile for non-standard pitch applications
• Bottoming chamfer allows full thread depth in blind holes
• 4-flute design provides balanced cutting action and chip control
• High-speed steel construction handles a wide range of workpiece materials
• 6H class of fit with D3 thread limit ensures consistent thread tolerance
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping without coating-related heat concerns

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for applications requiring M15x0.5 metric special internal threads in standard right-hand tapping setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists using a tapping machine, drill press, or CNC machining center with appropriate tapping attachments. Always ensure the pilot hole diameter matches the M15x0.5 thread specification before tapping. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Secure the workpiece firmly and confirm spindle alignment before beginning the tapping cycle.
