Value Collection MSC-04997615 Spiral Point Tap M11x1.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997615 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M11x1.50 metric coarse internal threads in through-hole applications. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it is built for general-purpose tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, reducing clogging in through holes and allowing for faster, cleaner cuts. With a plug chamfer and right-hand thread direction, this tap suits standard production and maintenance threading operations performed by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance trades.

This tap is used in machine shop, production, and field maintenance environments where M11x1.50 metric coarse threads are required. The plug chamfer style provides a balance between starting ease and thread engagement length, making it appropriate for through-hole tapping on a variety of workpiece materials including mild steel, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. It is sold individually and is suited for use in both manual tap handles and machine tapping operations at controlled feed rates.

Key Features

• M11x1.50 metric coarse thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole tapping
• 3-flute design provides good chip clearance and cutting stability
• Plug chamfer style balances easy starting with full thread engagement
• High speed steel construction offers durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production spiral point tap for applications requiring M11x1.50 metric coarse internal threads in through-hole workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap handle, tapping head, or CNC machine set to the appropriate feed rate for M11x1.50 pitch. Always apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured before tapping. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use to avoid thread damage or tap breakage.
