Thread Tap Art-Pol M12 x 1.50 mm, single piece

Art-Pol thread tap M12 x 1.50 mm is a single-piece cutting tool designed to create or repair internal metric threads with a 1.50 mm pitch. Supplied as one tap, it is intended for use in metalworking, maintenance and assembly tasks where accurate M12×1.50 internal threads are required. The tool is compatible with both manual tapping and machine tapping operations and is suitable for use on a range of metallic materials within the tool's capacity.

Advantages

The single-piece construction provides rigidity and straightforward handling for consistent thread form. Its metric M12 x 1.50 specification matches standard parts and fasteners, enabling precise mating with bolts and screws of the same size. Supplied individually, the tap is convenient for replacement or one-off repair jobs and can be used in hand taps or tapped by machine with appropriate holders and speed settings.

Suitable for

• Creating new M12×1.50 internal threads in metallic workpieces
• Repairing or restoring damaged M12×1.50 threads
• Manual tapping with tap wrench or machine tapping with appropriate collets/holders
• Maintenance, assembly and light engineering workshop tasks

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12
• Thread pitch: 1.50 mm
• Tool type: single-piece tap
• Application: internal metric threading (cutting/repair)
• Usage: manual or machine tapping

How to use

Select an appropriate drill size for a M12 x 1.50 tap drill hole, clamp the workpiece securely, and ensure alignment before starting. For manual use, fit the tap into a suitable tap wrench and apply steady, even pressure while turning; periodically reverse the tap a fraction of a turn to break and clear chips. For machine tapping, use a proper holder or collet, set correct spindle speed and feed, and use coolant or cutting fluid as required for the material being machined. Inspect threads after cutting and remove any burrs or chips before assembly.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable cutting fluid when tapping harder metals, avoid excessive force to prevent tap breakage, and back off regularly to clear chips. Match drill size and tapping speed to the workpiece material and consider using progressive or plug/spiral point taps if chip evacuation is difficult in blind holes.
