Value Collection MSC-04997797 Spiral Point Tap M14x2.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997797 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting metric coarse threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it produces M14x2.00 threads with a 6H class of fit — a standard tolerance suitable for general-purpose fastener assemblies. The plug chamfer distributes cutting load across the first few threads, making it well suited for use in drilling fixtures, machine setups, or hand-tapping operations where controlled thread engagement is required. The D7 thread limit designation confirms oversize is not applied, holding consistent tolerance for standard metric fasteners. Machinists and maintenance technicians working in production or repair environments are the primary users of this tool.

This tap is used when threading through-holes in materials that accept HSS cutting tools, including mild steel, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-hole tapping in CNC machining centers, drill presses, or hand-tap setups. With a 1-21/32 inch thread length, it provides adequate engagement depth for most standard through-hole metric tapping jobs in industrial and maintenance settings. Right-hand cutting direction matches standard metric fastener orientation.

Key Features

• M14x2.00 metric coarse thread form for compatibility with standard metric fasteners
• 6H class of fit — general-purpose tolerance suitable for most production and repair applications
• Plug chamfer distributes cutting force over several leading threads, reducing tap breakage risk
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of machinable metals
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating variables to account for in lubrication or speed selection
• D7 thread limit with no oversize — holds consistent tolerance for standard metric bolt fits
• Right-hand cutting direction, 3-flute design for balanced chip evacuation in through-holes

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole tapping of M14x2.00 metric coarse threads in machinable materials. Suitable for use with standard tap holders, tapping chucks, and hand-tap wrenches configured for the appropriate shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with thread-cutting operations. Secure the tap in a properly aligned tap holder or chuck before beginning to prevent cross-threading. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and produce clean thread form. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use — a chipped or worn tap can produce out-of-tolerance threads or break in the workpiece.
