Regal Cutting Tools N205868K M45x1.50 RC HS D6 Plug Hand Tap

Regal Cutting Tools N205868K M45x1.50 Plug Hand Tap is a high-speed steel (HSS) plug-style hand tap designed for cutting internal metric threads, intended for general-purpose tapping and suitable for use by hand or in production machines. It specifies an M45x1.50 size with a D6 thread limit and a plug chamfer, aligning with Regal’s HSS plug-hand-tap family and consistent with Regal’s catalog data showing metric hand taps that are precision-ground to standard forms for reliable cutting action. The N205868K SKU identifies this specific size and configuration within Regal’s range of metric hand taps, which are documented as general-purpose tools intended for internal threading in metric components and compatible with a variety of common machining materials. Regal describes its hand taps as general-purpose and precision-ground, with the correct number of flutes to provide adequate chip clearance and cutting edges for most threading jobs, and the plug chamfer designation indicating the cutting geometry at the tip. This tool’s size and geometry place it among Regal’s larger-diameter metric taps used where a 1.50 mm pitch is required, making it suitable for applications in manufacturing and maintenance environments that rely on consistent, repeatable thread production.
