Westward M12x1.75 Straight Flute Hand Tap

This Westward straight flute hand tap cuts metric coarse threads sized M12x1.75. It is made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. The taper style and four flutes suit general purpose threading by hand or machine. Right hand threads are produced.

Replaces worn or missing M12 coarse taps

A new tap replaces one that has dulled, chipped or been lost. The jump is worth it when thread quality drops or when a correct D6 limit tool is needed for fit. High speed steel offers longer life than carbon steel alternatives.

Check thread size pitch and material compatibility

Verify the workpiece requires M12x1.75 metric coarse threads before ordering. Confirm the material being tapped is suitable for high speed steel. Ensure a matching tap wrench or holder is available for the square drive.

Questions about this item

What size tap wrench fits the M12 x 1.75 tap?

Use a standard tap wrench sized for M12 taps; the shank follows metric dimensions for that thread size.

How do I start the taper tap straight in the hole?

Clamp the workpiece, use a centre punch mark, and turn the tap perpendicular while applying light forward pressure.

When should this high speed steel tap be replaced?

Replace it when threads show torn crests, cutting requires excessive force, or the flutes are chipped.
