Machine Tap Art-Pol M10 x 1.50 mm

Machine Tap Art-Pol M10 x 1.50 mm is a precision cutting tool designed to create internal metric threads with a 1.50 mm pitch. Intended for use with machines or drilling presses, this tap is suited to production, repair and maintenance tasks where accurate M10 threads are required. The tool is produced by Art-Pol and is intended for metalworking and compatible materials that tolerate standard tapping operations.

Advantages

The machine tap offers consistent thread geometry for repeatable results and is built to withstand the axial and rotational forces of machine tapping. Its geometry and fluting are optimized for chip evacuation when used in suitable materials and conditions, which reduces the risk of thread damage. Designed for use in mechanized operations, the tap delivers higher productivity than manual tapping while maintaining dimensional accuracy.

Suitable for

• Creating internal M10 threads with 1.50 mm pitch in metal components
• Machine tapping operations on drilling presses and tapping machines
• Production runs, maintenance and repair work requiring consistent thread quality
• Workbench machining where powered tapping is preferred over hand tapping

Key specifications

• Thread size: M10
• Thread pitch: 1.50 mm
• Type: machine tap for internal threads
• Intended use: metalworking and compatible materials
• Drive method: designed for machine or drilling-press tapping

How to use

Secure the workpiece in a stable fixture and align the tap with the hole center. Use the correct pilot hole diameter for M10 x 1.50 mm threads, then operate the machine or drilling press at recommended speeds for the material being tapped. Apply appropriate cutting fluid if required by the material to aid chip removal and prolong tool life. Advance the tap steadily, withdrawing periodically to clear chips if necessary, and finish by reversing carefully to remove the tool from the newly formed thread.

Usage recommendations

Verify the base material and drill the correct pilot hole before tapping. Select cutting speeds and cutting fluid appropriate to the material (softer metals typically allow higher speeds and less aggressive lubrication; harder alloys require lower speeds and more cooling). Inspect taps regularly for wear and replace when thread quality degrades to avoid damage to workpieces.
