Value Collection JY9036914 Straight Flute Tap M26x3

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036914 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M26x3 metric special internal threads in blind holes and bottomed applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable thread-forming performance in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The bottoming chamfer allows threading closer to the bottom of a blind hole than taper or plug style taps. With 4 flutes and a D8 thread limit, this tap suits precision threading work performed by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working to metric special thread standards.

This tap is suited for use in manual tapping operations or machine tapping setups where straight-flute geometry is appropriate for through-chip evacuation in shorter-chip materials. The 6H class of fit produces standard tolerance internal threads consistent with metric fastener assembly requirements. With a 2.5-inch thread length and an overall length of 5.125 inches, it accommodates deeper threading needs in production or repair environments where M26x3 metric special threads are specified.

Key Features

• Bottoming chamfer allows threading to within 1-2 threads of the bottom of a blind hole
• High-speed steel construction provides good wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• 4-flute design supports chip control in short-chipping materials
• 6H class of fit meets standard metric internal thread tolerance requirements
• D8 thread limit accommodates typical plating or tolerance stack allowances
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids in general-purpose threading applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose tap for applications requiring M26x3 metric special internal threads per standard metric thread specifications.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with threading operations. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is properly aligned before starting to prevent thread damage or tap breakage. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Power down any machine tapping equipment before changing or inspecting the tap.
