Value Collection MSC-04997375 Spiral Point Tap M6x0.75

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997375 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting internal metric fine threads in metal workpieces. It is configured as a plug chamfer tap with 2 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, making it a general-purpose tool suited for through-hole tapping operations. Constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap provides reliable cutting performance in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The thread size is M6x0.75, conforming to the Metric Fine standard, with a thread length of 1 inch and a thread limit of D3. It is a staple in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field service kits where precise metric threading is required.

This tap is used in applications where M6x0.75 metric fine internal threads are needed, typically in automotive, mechanical assembly, and general fabrication work. The spiral point design pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, making it especially effective in through-hole applications on CNC machines, drill presses, and tapping heads. It is appropriate for use in both production and repair environments where controlled thread tolerance and consistent fit are priorities.

Key Features

• M6x0.75 Metric Fine thread specification for precision threading applications
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole tapping
• 2-flute configuration provides adequate chip clearance in standard materials
• Plug chamfer allows the tap to start easily and continue through the full thread depth
• High speed steel construction offers good wear resistance for general-purpose machining
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a range of workpiece materials
• Thread limit D3 ensures consistent tolerance fit within standard M6x0.75 specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M6x0.75 Metric Fine spiral point tap suitable for through-hole threading operations in machining and repair applications requiring right-hand internal metric fine threads.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapping head, CNC machine, drill press, or hand tap wrench. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct diameter for M6x0.75 threads before tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not reverse the tap under power without confirming the machine setup supports reversing cycles, and avoid forcing the tap if resistance increases unexpectedly.
