Value Collection MSC-04997516 Spiral Point Tap M9x1.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997516 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting internal metric fine threads in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this tap features a plug chamfer and three flutes with a spiral point geometry that pushes chips forward ahead of the cut, helping to keep the flutes clear during through-hole tapping operations. The thread size is M9x1.00 metric fine with a right-hand thread direction and a D5 thread limit, making it suitable for applications where precise fit and tolerance control are required.

This tap is intended for use in machining, fabrication, and maintenance environments where metric fine threads are specified. It is well suited for through-hole tapping in materials such as mild steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for starting in a hole that runs through the workpiece. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics typically reach for this style of tap when threading holes by hand or under power in a drill press or CNC tapping setup.

Key Features

• M9x1.00 metric fine thread size with right-hand thread direction
• Three-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward for cleaner through-hole tapping
• Plug chamfer provides a gradual start and works well in through-hole applications
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a wide range of common workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping without additional coating wear considerations
• D5 thread limit for controlled tolerance fits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric fine spiral point tap for through-hole tapping applications requiring an M9x1.00 thread form. No specific machine or equipment compatibility data was provided for this item.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard tapping equipment such as a tap wrench, drill press, or CNC machine with tapping capability. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole diameter is correct for the M9x1.00 thread form before beginning. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to reduce tool wear and improve thread quality. Do not reverse the tap under power without confirming the machine or setup is configured for synchronized tapping.
