METRIC FINE TAPS
Sutton Tools metric fine taps are premium-quality threading tools designed to cut highly precise internal metric fine threads (MF). Depending on your project requirements, Sutton produces these taps across two primary material ranges: Carbon Alloy Steel for light maintenance or DIY tasks, and High-Speed Steel (HSS) for industrial fabrication and machine tapping. Breakdown of MF10 X 1.25 MF: Stands for Metric Fine. This indicates that the thread belongs to the metric system but has a finer pitch (closer threads) than a standard metric coarse thread. 10: Represents the Nominal Diameter (10 mm). This is the major, outer diameter of the thread bolt or the size of the hole before cutting the internal threads. 1.25: Represents the Pitch (1.25 mm). This is the exact linear distance from the crest of one thread to the crest of the next. For comparison, a standard coarse M10 thread has a wider pitch of 1.5 mm. 1. Taper Tap Design: Features a long, gradual lead-in chamfer spanning 7 to 10 threads. Purpose: It aligns the tool perfectly straight and starts cutting the thread with minimal effort. Best For: Starting any manual threading project or threading completely through open holes. 2. Intermediate / Second Tap Design: Features a moderate lead-in chamfer spanning 3 to 5 threads. Purpose: It deepens the initial grooves cut by the taper tap and drives the thread closer to the floor of a hole. Best For: Deepening threads or acting as a single-pass starter tap in softer materials or open through-holes. 3. Bottoming / Plug Tap Design: Features a very short chamfer of only 1 to 2 threads, making it almost flat at the cutting tip. Purpose: It cuts a full, usable thread all the way down to the absolute flat bottom of a blind hole.
