Straight Flute Tap: M12x1.75 Metric Coarse, 4 Flutes, Plug, Carbon Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:C69540

The carbon steel M12 x 1.75 metric coarse thread straight flute tap has four flutes with a 0.888 inch minor diameter and comes to a point tip enabling users to drill or clean tapped holes easily in various metallic materials while eliminating chips that could create misalignments, improving accuracy during the cutting process. Its 4 flutes design produces a better surface finish compared to center-cutting types hence preventing damaging the threads being created on both starts up plus provides more chip clearance preventing deflections or breakage. As a cost-effective tool made from high carbon steel, this tap is designed for heavy-duty general-purpose applications like machining holes in castings, forgings, and weldments hence catering to small machine shops, maintenance crews at factories or labs working on prototype projects who require tapping services but can afford its economically-priced model for consistent performance.
