Value Collection JY9037490 M36x2 Straight Flute Tap Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9037490 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M36x2 metric fine internal threads in metalworking applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap features four flutes and a plug chamfer entry that distributes cutting load progressively across the lead threads. It is suited for threading through-holes and blind holes where chip evacuation can be managed with standard techniques. The right-hand thread direction and 6H class of fit meet common tolerance requirements for metric fine threaded assemblies. Thread length is 3 inches with an overall length of 6.0625 inches.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where metric fine threads are required in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. The M36x2 designation indicates a 36 mm nominal diameter with a 2 mm pitch, a specification common in heavy equipment, structural fastener applications, and precision mechanical assemblies. It is typically run on milling machines, drill presses, or dedicated tapping machines with appropriate speed and lubrication for the workpiece material.

Key Features

• M36x2 metric fine thread form with right-hand cutting direction
• 4-flute straight flute geometry for balanced cutting in through and blind hole applications
• Plug chamfer distributes load across multiple lead threads for controlled entry
• 6H class of fit with D7 thread limit for standard metric tolerance requirements
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of machinable materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid or tapping compound

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or production tap for metric fine threading operations requiring an M36x2 thread form with 6H fit tolerance.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists and toolmakers using a tapping machine, CNC machining center, or hand tap wrench with a calibrated torque driver for larger diameter taps. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned to the pre-drilled pilot hole before beginning the threading operation. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tool life. Reverse the tap periodically when hand-tapping to break chips and prevent tap breakage, particularly in deeper holes.
