Value Collection JY9036773 Straight Flute Tap M18x2.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036773 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M18x2.5 metric coarse internal threads in a wide range of machining applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it well suited for tight-tolerance work where full thread depth is required. With 4 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, this tap is a standard choice for production and maintenance machining environments. Installation is performed by qualified machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This tap is used in production machining, maintenance repair, and fabrication shops where M18x2.5 metric coarse threads are specified. The bottoming chamfer configuration is particularly valuable in blind-hole applications where a plug or taper tap cannot achieve sufficient thread depth. It is appropriate for use in manual tapping setups as well as in rigid tapping operations on CNC machining centers when paired with proper toolholding. The D7 thread limit designation indicates a standard tolerance class suitable for general-purpose metric threaded fastener engagement.

Key Features

• M18x2.5 metric coarse thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility
• Bottoming chamfer for maximum thread depth in blind holes
• 4-flute straight flute geometry for controlled chip handling
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids
• Right-hand thread direction, D7 thread limit for general-purpose tolerance class

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight flute tap for M18x2.5 metric coarse threading operations in manual and machine tapping applications.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by qualified machinists following standard tapping procedures. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece fully before tapping and ensure proper alignment to avoid tap breakage. When used in CNC rigid tapping, verify spindle speed and feed rate match manufacturer recommendations for the tap size and material.
