Value Collection JY9036898 Straight Flute Tap M26x1.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036898 is a straight flute tap designed to cut M26x1.5 Metric Fine internal threads in a single pass. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap handles threading operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where thread geometry and dimensional accuracy are critical. The bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes, making it well suited for tight-tolerance work. With 4 flutes and a 6H class of fit, it produces threads that meet standard metric fine tolerances for general mechanical assemblies. Overall length is 4 inches with a thread length of 1.5 inches.

This tap is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance environments for threading operations in blind or through holes requiring M26x1.5 Metric Fine thread form. The right-hand thread direction and D8 thread limit make it a standard choice for production and repair work across industries including automotive, industrial equipment, and precision manufacturing. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard tap holders and tapping chucks sized for the shank dimensions.

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard tap holders and tapping chucks compatible with the shank size of this tool; suitable for M26x1.5 Metric Fine threading operations in machine shop and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by a qualified machinist using a properly aligned tap holder or tapping chuck to avoid tap breakage. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for M26x1.5 before tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the work material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use.
