The Wiseman Threading Tools Spiral Point Metric HSS Tap Right Hand - M13x1 is a high-speed steel ground thread tap designed for efficient, precise metric threading in through-holes and general metalworking tasks. Uncoated for versatile use with your favorite cutting fluids, this tap adheres to ISO 529 dimensions to ensure reliable compatibility with standard M13x1 threads.

Spiral point (gun nose) geometry is engineered to push chips ahead of the cutting edge, delivering faster material removal and cleaner threads in through-holes. The right-hand thread follows conventional turning directions, making it a dependable choice for everyday threading work on a range of metals.

Key benefits

• Spiral point (gun nose) design for efficient chip evacuation and reduced gumming in through-holes.
• Ground thread edges for precise, consistent pitch and smooth final threads.
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability and wear resistance across steel, cast iron, and aluminum workpieces.
• Uncoated finish offers broad compatibility with cutting oils and lubrication practices.
• Metric size M13x1 with ISO 529 compliant dimensions ensures reliable interchangeability with standard hardware and fasteners.

How to use

1. Prepare the hole with the correct tapping drill size according to standard metric charts for M13x1 and your material (steel, aluminum, cast iron).
2. Secure the workpiece and apply a quality cutting fluid to minimize heat and extend tool life.
3. Align the tap square to the hole and advance with steady, even pressure; avoid forcing the tool if it binds.
4. Periodically back off to break chips and clear debris from the flutes; continue until the desired depth is reached.
5. Deburr the hole and test with a compatible M13x1 insert to ensure proper thread engagement.
