HexTap Type S Threading Bit, 1/4" hexagon drive Form D HSS-G - M 12 x 1.75

• for compact internal thread cutting with a 1/4 inch hexagon drive
• for M 12 X 1.75 when the Unified thread size and threads per inch match the part
• for maintenance, assembly, and repair work with a suitable drive holder
• for blind-hole oriented tapping when Form C geometry is appropriate for the workpiece
• Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
• Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition

Note Keep the bit square to the hole and use only a drive setup that can transmit torque without damaging the 1/4 inch interface.

• The 1/4 inch hexagon drive allows use with compact holders and bit-style drive setups.
• Form C geometry supports blind-hole oriented internal thread work where the setup is suitable.
• HSS-G material is stated in the product data and supports accurate cutting in suitable workpiece materials.
• The thread designation M 12 X 1.75 gives a direct selection reference for Unified inch threads.

• A bit-style tap is sensitive to misalignment, so use a holder or drive setup that keeps the tool square to the hole.

1. Check that M 12 X 1.75 matches the required internal thread.
2. Secure the workpiece so the bit follows the hole axis.
3. Insert the 1/4 inch hexagon drive into a suitable holder or drive tool.
4. Apply suitable cutting fluid for the material.
5. Start the threading bit square to the hole.
6. Cut the thread with controlled torque and steady alignment.
7. Withdraw the bit carefully and clean the thread.
8. Inspect the thread before assembly.

What drive do you need?

You need a suitable 1/4 inch hexagon drive holder or drive tool that keeps the threading bit aligned.

Is this for internal or external threads?

It is for internal threads and does not replace a round die or die nut for external threads.

How do you select the correct size?

Match M 12 X 1.75 exactly to the thread required on the drawing or component.

Can it be used for blind holes?

Form C geometry is named in the product data, so blind-hole oriented use is the relevant application when the workpiece setup matches.

What should you avoid during use?

Avoid tilted driving and uncontrolled torque because the compact bit interface depends on straight alignment.
