Thread Tap Art-Pol M12x1.75 mm machine tap, metric M12×1.75

The Art-Pol machine tap M12x1.75 mm is a precision cutting tool for creating internal M12×1.75 metric threads in metal components. Intended for machine tapping operations, this tap is made to cut or form threads with the standard 1.75 mm pitch and nominal 12 mm diameter. It is suitable for use in production environments and repair shops where a reliable, dimensionally accurate internal thread is required.

Advantages

This machine tap provides consistent thread accuracy and repeatability when used with appropriate tapping holders or machine spindles. Its geometry is tailored for efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action in a range of common engineering metals. The tap enables faster cycle times in automated or semi-automated tapping setups compared with manual tapping, while maintaining the dimensional tolerances expected for metric M12 threads.

Suitable for

• Production tapping on metal workpieces requiring M12×1.75 internal threads
• Repair and maintenance tasks to restore worn or damaged M12 threads
• Machine shop and CNC tapping operations using compatible holders or spindles

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12
• Pitch: 1.75 mm
• Thread form: metric ISO coarse
• Intended use: machine tapping for internal threads
• Suitable materials: common engineering metals (steel, alloy steel, non-ferrous metals) when used with correct speeds, feeds and lubrication

How to use

Mount the tap securely in a compatible tapping holder or machine spindle designed for through or blind tapping as required. Select appropriate cutting speed, feed, and cutting fluid based on the workpiece material. For blind holes, establish the correct drill size and depth before tapping; for through holes, ensure proper support for chip evacuation. Advance the tap steadily under machine control, allowing the tool to cut the full thread depth, then reverse to break and clear chips if the machine cycle requires it. Inspect the produced threads with gauge or thread measurement tools to verify dimensional conformity.

Usage recommendations

Use recommended drill size and correct lubrication for the material being machined; ensure machine spindle alignment and secure tool holding to prevent chatter and premature wear. Replace the tap when thread quality degrades or tool wear is evident.
