Value Collection JY9037276 M23x2.5 Straight Flute Tap Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9037276 is a straight flute tap designed to cut M23x2.5 Metric Special internal threads in a variety of workpiece materials. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this tap is suited for general-purpose threading operations where a dedicated coating is not required. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — allows the tap to be started in a through-hole or a hole with adequate clearance at the bottom. With 4 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, it produces clean, accurate threads to a 6H class of fit and D7 thread limit. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this tap in manual tapping operations as well as low-speed machine applications.

This tap is intended for threading M23x2.5 Metric Special holes in metalworking, maintenance, and repair applications. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-hole threading or for starting threads in blind holes where sufficient relief exists. A 2.219-inch thread length provides ample engagement for standard fastener depths, and the 4.6875-inch overall length suits it to common tap wrenches and tapping heads used in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• M23x2.5 Metric Special thread form for non-standard metric pitch applications
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer (3-5 thread lead) for through-hole threading and easy starting
• 4-flute design promotes chip control and thread form accuracy
• 6H class of fit with D7 thread limit for standard tolerance internal threads
• Bright uncoated finish — ready to use without additional surface treatment requirements
• Right-hand thread direction for standard forward-cutting operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threading tool for M23x2.5 Metric Special thread applications in general metalworking and maintenance environments. Intended for use with standard tap wrenches, T-handle wrenches, or low-speed tapping heads that accept straight-shank taps.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Always secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before applying torque. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, particularly in deeper holes.
