Product Description
Milwaukee M14-1.25 mm Straight Flute Plug Tap
Model Number: 49-57-5167
The Milwaukee 49-57-5167 is an M14-1.25 mm Straight Flute Plug Tap, precision machined for creating or repairing clean, accurate internal threads. A tap cuts female threads into a drilled hole, and this plug tap is the most common general-purpose style, with a short tapered chamfer of a few threads at the tip that starts the tap square in the hole before it transitions to full-form threads, which makes it well suited to through-hole threading. The M14-1.25 mm designation identifies a 14 mm nominal diameter with a 1.25 mm thread pitch, a fine pitch for an M14 thread. Note the pitch carefully: Milwaukee offers the M14 tap in two pitches, this 1.25 mm fine version and the 1.50 mm version, so match this tap to M14-1.25 mm hardware and confirm your thread pitch before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable. The finer M14-1.25 thread is common in automotive and machinery applications where a finer pitch is called for, and the straight flute geometry gives the tap the versatility to handle general threading across common metals.
The tap is built for durability and lasting identification. High carbon steel construction holds a sharp cutting edge through the common metal applications it is designed for, and a protective black oxide coating resists corrosion while helping to reduce friction as the tap cuts. Milwaukee marks these taps with long-lasting laser-etched sizing rather than stamped markings, so the size and pitch stay clearly legible over the life of the tool, which matters when you carry both M14 pitches. The square shank is compatible with all standard tap handles and tap wrenches, so it drops right into the threading tools you already run, and at this larger size the leverage of a good two-handle tap wrench makes a real difference in control.
This plug tap is designed for cutting threads in the most common metal applications, including brass, aluminum, mild steel, and more, which makes it a go-to for mechanics, machinists, fabricators, and maintenance crews working with M14-1.25 mm hardware. It handles both tapping fresh holes and chasing or repairing an existing damaged M14-1.25 thread. For the cleanest finish, easiest cutting, and longest tap life, use the tap with cutting fluid to keep heat and friction down as it works.
