This high-carbon steel plug tap delivers reliable performance for creating or rethreading M12x1.75 metric threads in a variety of materials. Its durable construction ensures consistent results and extended tool life in demanding workshop environments.

Key Features

Metric M12x1.75 Threading: Precisely engineered for cutting and restoring M12x1.75 metric threads, essential for specific vehicle and machinery components.
High Carbon Steel (HCS) Construction: Manufactured from high carbon steel, providing excellent hardness, strength, and abrasion resistance for durability and consistent performance.
Plug Chamfer: Features a 3 to 5 thread chamfer, making it ideal for general-purpose threading in through-holes and blind holes where chip clearance is sufficient.
Straight Flute Design: Straight flutes are designed for efficient chip removal, promoting smoother threading operations in various materials.
Right-Hand Cut: Designed for right-hand cutting applications, a common standard for many threading tasks.
Laser-Etched Identification: Tap size and recommended drill bit size are laser-etched on the tool for quick and easy identification, enhancing workflow efficiency.

Applications

This Irwin plug tap is an indispensable tool for professional technicians and mechanics working on auto repair and machinery where metric threads are specified. It is particularly effective for threading in softer materials such as soft steels, cast iron, copper, magnesium, and alloy steels with a hardness below 32Rc. Ideal for routine maintenance, repair work, and rethreading operations, it ensures precise and clean threads for secure fastenings and component integrity.
