Value Collection MSC-04997755 Spiral Point Tap M14x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997755 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M14x1.25 metric fine internal threads in through-hole applications. It features a plug chamfer style and three flutes, making it well suited for pushing chips ahead of the tap during production tapping operations. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The thread limit is D7, providing a standard tolerance class appropriate for most general-purpose metric fine threading work. Thread length measures 1-21/32 inches. Installation is right-hand, requiring standard clockwise rotation.

This tap is used in metalworking, maintenance, and manufacturing environments where M14x1.25 metric fine threads are required in through-holes. The spiral point design is particularly effective on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines where consistent chip evacuation is critical. It is appropriate for job shops, toolrooms, and production settings handling automotive, mechanical, and industrial components that call for fine-pitch metric threading.

Key Features

• M14x1.25 metric fine thread form for fine-pitch internal threading
• 3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward through the hole
• Plug chamfer provides gradual thread engagement suitable for through-hole tapping
• High speed steel construction offers good wear resistance and toughness
• Bright uncoated finish — compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids
• D7 thread limit for standard general-purpose metric fine tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or direct-use spiral point tap for applications requiring M14x1.25 metric fine right-hand threads in through-hole workpieces.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by machinists or qualified trade professionals familiar with tapping operations. Always secure the workpiece properly and use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped. Ensure the tap is properly aligned with the pilot hole before engaging to avoid tap breakage. Replace worn taps promptly — a damaged tap can seize in the workpiece and cause part rejection.
