Tap (gwintownik) Art-Pol M12 x 1.75 mm — metric hand tap, 1 piece

Art-Pol M12 x 1.75 mm tap is a single-piece metric hand tap designed to cut or repair internal M12 threads with a 1.75 mm pitch. Supplied as one tap, it is intended for manual tapping operations in machinable materials such as steel and aluminium when used with appropriate tapping tools and cutting fluid. The tool is suitable for maintenance, metalworking and do-it-yourself thread repair tasks where a standard M12 metric thread is required.

Advantages

The hand tap provides a straightforward and reliable method for creating or restoring internal M12 threads. Its single-piece design simplifies handling and storage. When used with proper lubrication and correct tapping technique, the tap delivers consistent thread geometry and good thread fit. Compatibility with common tapping handles and wrenches makes it convenient for workshop and field use.

• Cutting new M12 internal threads in metal components
• Repairing damaged or worn M12 threads
• Maintenance and onsite thread restoration
• DIY metalworking projects and prototypes

How to use

Select an appropriate pilot hole size before tapping, drill to the correct diameter for an M12 x 1.75 mm thread. Secure the workpiece and apply suitable cutting fluid to the hole and tap. Start the tap square to the workpiece and turn it clockwise to engage the material, advancing a few turns then reversing periodically to break chips. Maintain steady pressure and alignment throughout the operation. After completing the thread, back the tap out carefully, clean chips from the hole, and inspect the thread for correct fit.

Usage recommendations

Use a tapping wrench or handle that provides secure grip and good control; apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material; for hard or abrasive materials, consider pecking motion and frequent chip removal to extend tap life. Store the tap in a dry place and clean after use to prevent corrosion and ensure consistent performance.
