Thread Tap Art-Pol M10 x 1.50 mm — single-piece hand tap

Art-Pol thread tap M10 x 1.50 mm is a single-piece hand tap designed to cut or restore metric internal threads with a 1.50 mm pitch. Intended for manual use, the compact tool is suitable for creating or repairing M10 internal threads in bolts, housings and machine parts used in metalworking and general mechanical maintenance. The tool’s single-piece construction provides a straightforward geometry for moderate-duty thread cutting and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The one-piece design ensures consistent alignment during hand tapping and reduces the number of components to handle. Its metric M10 x 1.50 mm specification matches standard M10 fasteners, enabling precise thread cutting and repair. The compact size and manual operation make the tap suitable for confined spaces and on-site maintenance where power tools are impractical. The tool is compatible with common tap handles and wrenches for controlled turning and feed.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M10 internal threads in metal components
• Repairing damaged or worn M10 threads in housings and machine parts
• Workshop maintenance and mechanical repair tasks
• Hand tapping in confined or on-site environments

Key specifications

• Thread standard: metric internal thread
• Thread size: M10
• Pitch: 1.50 mm
• Tool type: single-piece hand tap
• Operation: manual (requires tap handle or wrench)

How to use

Select an appropriate pilot hole sized for M10 x 1.50 mm threads, secure the workpiece, and align the tap square to the hole axis. Mount the tap in a suitable tap handle or wrench, apply cutting fluid if working with metals, and turn the tap slowly clockwise to cut the thread, backing off periodically to break chips and clear swarf. For thread repair, start the tap carefully to follow the existing engagement and avoid forcing the tool through distorted sections. After completing the pass, reverse the tap fully to remove it and clean the newly cut threads of debris.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting lubricant for the workpiece material, keep the tap aligned during operation, and clear chips frequently to prolong tool life and ensure accurate thread form. Inspect threads after cutting and deburr edges if required.
