Tap (gwintownik) Art-Pol M10 x 1.25 mm — hand tap, metric thread, 1 piece

Art-Pol M10 x 1.25 mm hand tap is a single-piece cutting tool designed for creating or restoring internal metric threads with a nominal diameter of M10 and a 1.25 mm thread pitch. Intended for manual tapping operations, this hand tap is suitable for use in metalworking, mechanical assembly, maintenance, and repair tasks where precise internal threads are required. The product is supplied as one tap and is designed for use with standard tap wrenches or holders in workshop and industrial environments.

Advantages

This hand tap provides accurate metric M10 x 1.25 threads using a single, easy-to-handle tool. Its geometry is optimized for manual operation, offering reliable thread cutting and restoration in a variety of common workshop materials. The compact, single-piece format simplifies storage and selection when only one tap is required for a specific thread size. The tap is compatible with standard hand-tapping equipment and is suitable for repeated use in maintenance and repair workflows.

Suitable for

• Manual tapping of new internal M10 x 1.25 threads in metal components
• Repairing damaged or worn internal threads
• Maintenance and mechanical assembly in workshops and small production settings
• Use with hand tap wrenches and holders for controlled, manual cutting

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a stable vise and center-drill the hole to the correct pilot diameter for an M10 x 1.25 thread. Mount the tap in a suitable hand tap wrench or holder, ensuring it is squared to the hole. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the material, start the tap carefully to establish the thread, and use steady, even turns. Reverse the tap periodically to break chips and clear swarf. Complete the threading operation until the required depth is reached, then back out the tap and clean the thread.

Usage recommendations

Use proper pilot drill sizes and cutting lubricants appropriate to the workpiece material, keep the tap aligned to avoid cross-threading, and clear chips frequently. For hardened or difficult materials, consider progressive tapping with intermediate pilot holes or use a tap with suitable coating or material grade. Store the tap in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
