This uxcell thread tap is a precision tool for creating or repairing M12 x 1.25 metric threads. Made from 6542 high-speed steel (HSS) with a black nitride coating, it offers excellent hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. The straight flute design provides rapid downward chip removal, making it ideal for through holes or shallow holes where efficient chip evacuation is important. The nitride coating not only increases hardness and wear resistance but also provides corrosion protection, helping the tap maintain its sharpness through multiple uses. With a thread length of 29mm (1.14 inches) and total length of 89.6mm (3.53 inches), it's sized right for most applications. The H2 accuracy ensures precise threads that meet industrial standards. This tap works with most metals including iron plate, copper, zinc, alloy steel, abrasive steel, A3 steel, and stainless steel - though using proper tapping oil is recommended for better results and longer tool life. It's designed for use with drill presses, tapping machines, CNC, and milling machines - not recommended for hand or electric drill tapping. The square shank width of 7mm fits standard tap holders. Whether you're a machinist, mechanic, or serious DIYer, having quality taps like this on hand makes thread work so much smoother and more professional.
