Metric Fine M14x1.25 Threading
This Westward straight flute hand tap produces metric fine threads sized M14x1.25. The taper chamfer eases starting in through-holes or deep blind holes. Four flutes provide balanced chip clearance and cutting stability. High-speed steel construction suits general-purpose threading in steel and non-ferrous metals.
General Maintenance and Repair Use
Mechanics and fabricators cutting new internal threads or chasing damaged ones will find this D7 limit tap reliable. The 3 3/8 inch overall length and 1 21/32 inch thread length reach most standard depths. Bright uncoated finish works with cutting oil or paste. Buyers needing bottoming or plug chamfers, different thread limits, or coated performance for high-volume production should select another tool.
D7 Thread Limit Defines Fit
The D7 thread limit determines the pitch diameter tolerance and resulting class of fit for the M14x1.25 thread. This single specification decides whether the tap meets the engineering requirement for the intended assembly. Verify the drawing calls for a D7 limit before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Does the M14x1.25 tap generate much heat when cutting threads all day?
The high-speed steel body dissipates heat well during extended use; cutting fluid keeps temperatures low even in long sessions.
What holder or wrench do I need to drive this 4-flute taper tap?
A standard tap wrench or T-handle that fits the square shank is required; the tool has no built-in drive.
Will the D7 thread limit work with older M14 nuts and bolts I already have?
The D7 limit produces a standard metric fine fit compatible with existing M14x1.25 hardware.
