Value Collection MSC-04997250 Spiral Point Tap M4x0.75

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997250 is a spiral point tap designed for threading M4x0.75 Metric Special holes in metal workpieces. Spiral point taps push chips forward ahead of the cut rather than backing them out, making them well suited for through-hole tapping operations. This tap is ground from high speed steel (HSS), carries a bright uncoated finish, and features a plug chamfer with 2 flutes. The thread limit is D4, indicating a standard tolerance class appropriate for general-purpose Metric Special threads. Thread length is 0.75 inches. Right-hand cutting direction. Weight is 0.5 pounds.

This tap is intended for use in production and job-shop machining environments where M4x0.75 Metric Special through-hole threads are required. Typical applications include tapping steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials on drill presses, CNC machining centers, or hand-tapping setups. The spiral point geometry is particularly effective where chip evacuation forward through the hole is acceptable, such as in automated tapping cycles with consistent feed rates.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward for clean through-hole threading
• M4x0.75 Metric Special thread form with right-hand cutting direction
• High speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common machinable metals
• Plug chamfer provides gradual thread engagement at the start of the cut
• D4 thread limit for general-purpose Metric Special tolerance requirements
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for M4x0.75 Metric Special through-hole tapping applications in general machining and manufacturing environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before beginning the tapping cycle. Apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Secure the workpiece fully before engaging the tap to prevent movement during the threading operation.
