Value Collection MSC-04997532 Spiral Point Tap M9x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997532 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M9x1.25 metric coarse threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap features 3 flutes and a right-hand thread direction. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cut, keeping the flutes clear and reducing the risk of chip packing during production or maintenance threading operations. With a thread length of 1.125 inches and a D5 thread limit, it delivers consistent tolerance control suited to general-purpose metric threading work.

This tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and production environments where M9x1.25 metric coarse internal threads are required. The plug chamfer makes it suitable for through-hole tapping where the tap can feed fully through the workpiece. It is commonly used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working on metric-threaded fastener applications in steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole tapping
• M9x1.25 metric coarse thread form with right-hand direction
• 3-flute design for efficient chip evacuation
• High speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose materials
• D5 thread limit for consistent tolerance in standard metric fits
• Bright uncoated finish — no coolant-through required

Compatibility

Designed for use in through-hole tapping operations requiring M9x1.25 metric coarse internal threads. Compatible with standard tap holders and tapping heads accepting the corresponding shank size for this tool class.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use by machinists and maintenance technicians in manual or machine tapping setups. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned to the drilled hole before beginning the threading operation. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Reverse the tap periodically during manual tapping to break and clear chips from the flutes.
