Value Collection JY9037151 M6x0.5 Tap 4 Flute Bottoming Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9037151 is a straight flute tap designed to cut M6x0.5 Metric Fine internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers consistent thread quality in production and maintenance environments. The bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes, which is critical in tight-tolerance applications. With 4 flutes and a 6H class of fit, it is suited for precision threading where proper fit and thread engagement are required. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a thread length of 1 inch.

This tap is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) settings where M6x0.5 Metric Fine threads are specified. The bottoming chamfer design makes it the appropriate choice for blind-hole applications where a plug or taper tap cannot reach full thread depth. It is commonly used by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working on precision assemblies, hydraulic fittings, instrumentation hardware, and similar components that specify fine-pitch metric threads.

Key Features

• M6x0.5 Metric Fine thread form for fine-pitch threading applications
• Bottoming chamfer for threading to the bottom of blind holes
• 4-flute straight flute geometry for stable cutting in through and blind holes
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• 6H class of fit for standard precision thread tolerance
• D3 thread limit for consistent oversize control
• Bright, uncoated finish — ready for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or production tap for applications requiring M6x0.5 Metric Fine right-hand internal threads per metric fine thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping attachment, or machine spindle. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is started square to the hole to prevent breakage. For blind holes, use a bottoming tap sequence — starting with a plug or taper tap first when full thread depth is required near the bottom of the hole.
