Value Collection MSC-04997276 Spiral Point Tap M4x0.80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997276 is a spiral point tap designed for threading M4x0.80 metric special holes in production and maintenance machining environments. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap is engineered for through-hole threading applications where the spiral point geometry pushes chips ahead of the cutting edge and out of the hole. The two-flute configuration provides chip clearance in standard materials. With a 0.75 inch thread length and a D4 thread limit, this tap suits tight-tolerance metric threading in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This tap is suited for use in manual tapping, drill press, or CNC tapping operations where M4x0.80 metric special threads are required. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-hole applications in manufacturing, repair, and assembly work. It is a right-hand cut tap, compatible with standard right-hand threading operations. Machinists and tool and die technicians working in job shops, production facilities, or maintenance departments are the primary users of this tool.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole threading
• M4x0.80 metric special thread form for precise metric thread production
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose threading without specialized coatings
• Plug chamfer style designed for through-hole applications
• D4 thread limit for controlled tolerance threading

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production tap for M4x0.80 metric special through-hole threading applications in standard tapping chucks and holders accepting this shank and tap size.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tap should be performed by qualified machinists following safe machine operation procedures. Ensure the workpiece is properly fixtured and the spindle is at the correct speed for the material and tap size before starting the threading operation. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Never reverse a tap abruptly without confirming the tapping attachment or machine is set up for reversing cycles.
