Value Collection MSC-04997557 Spiral Point Tap M10x1.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997557 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M10x1.00 metric fine internal threads in through-hole applications. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap is suited for production and maintenance threading operations in metals and similar materials. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting teeth, keeping the flutes clear and reducing the chance of chip packing in through-hole work. With 3 flutes and a D6 thread limit, it delivers controlled fit tolerances consistent with standard metric fine thread specifications.

This tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments where M10x1.00 metric fine threads are required in through-hole workpieces. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads of taper — allows the tap to start easily in a pre-drilled hole and is the standard choice for general-purpose through-hole tapping on drill presses, CNC machining centers, or tapping arms. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where HSS tooling meets the hardness requirements of the workpiece material.

Key Features

• M10x1.00 metric fine thread form for tight-pitch applications
• Spiral point design pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole tapping
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer for easy hole entry and general-purpose use
• D6 thread limit for controlled tolerance fit
• Right-hand thread direction, bright uncoated finish, no coolant-through feature

Compatibility

Designed as a standard spiral point plug tap for through-hole M10x1.00 metric fine threading operations on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual tapping equipment that accept standard tap shank dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with tapping operations and toolholder requirements. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pre-drilled tap hole diameter matches the M10x1.00 metric fine specification before beginning. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use and replace if cutting edges show signs of chipping or dullness.
