Straight Flute Tap: M12x1.75 Metric Coarse, 4 Flutes, Taper, Carbon Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:C69539

Straight flute taps are widely used by machinists, engineers, and other professionals involved in the manufacturing or maintenance of metal components requiring precise drilling with excellent chip clearance and fast cutting action. M12x1.75 Metric Coarse is an ideal size for creating small-to-medium sized holes on a range of materials such as aluminum, brass, steel or cast iron alloys commonly found in automotive, aerospace, and machining industries where intricate threading needs to be performed quickly with accuracy. With 4 flutes, it provides smoother cutting compared to the standard two flute designs by lifting debris away from the drill's path while producing uniform threads in a single pass. The tapered shank ensures secure gripping onto a drill bit while preventing wobbling during operation. Carbon steel construction offers robust strength for hard metal applications and is suitable for dry or light lubrication drilling, making this tap both durable and cost-effective in the long term.
