Value Collection MSC-04997458 M7x1.00 Spiral Point Tap

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997458 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M7x1.00 metric coarse internal threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap drives chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, making it well suited for through-hole tapping operations in a range of workpiece materials. The two-flute design provides efficient chip evacuation at moderate feed rates. With a thread length of 1.125 inches and a D5 thread limit, this tap delivers consistent thread tolerance in production and maintenance environments. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance repair operations will find this a reliable general-purpose threading tool.

This tap is used for cutting M7x1.00 metric coarse right-hand internal threads in through-hole features on metal workpieces. It is appropriate for manual tapping with a tap wrench or power tapping with a drill press or CNC machine tool set to appropriate feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material. It is commonly used in general fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production machining environments where metric threaded fastener holes are required.

Key Features

• M7x1.00 metric coarse thread form for compatibility with standard M7 metric fasteners
• Plug chamfer with 3-5 thread lead for easy thread starting in through-hole applications
• Spiral point geometry drives chips forward to prevent chip packing in the flute
• High speed steel construction provides toughness across a wide range of workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid in standard tapping operations
• D5 thread limit for consistent tolerance control on threaded hole dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric spiral point tap for through-hole tapping of M7x1.00 metric coarse right-hand threads in ferrous and non-ferrous metalworkpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician using a calibrated tap wrench, drill press, or CNC tapping head. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole diameter is correctly sized for the M7x1.00 thread form before tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Reverse the tap periodically when hand tapping to break chips and reduce the risk of tap breakage.
