Volkel Machine Taps DIN 376 HSS-E Spiral Flute - Metric

Genuine VÖLKEL machine taps to DIN 376, HSS-E, Form C with a 35° spiral flute for cutting internal Metric (M) threads on CNC and manual milling/drilling machines. The spiral flute pulls chips up and out of the hole, making these ideal for blind holes. Stocked by San Tools in the UAE from M3 to M20.

Features

• DIN 376 Standard — machine tap geometry for use in tapping heads, collet chucks and rigid tapping setups
• HSS-E (Cobalt) Construction — improved heat resistance and edge life over standard HSS, suited to steel and stainless
• Form C, 35° Spiral Flute — pulls chips upward and out of the hole, ideal for blind-hole tapping
• Metric (M) Thread Form — standard ISO coarse pitch profile for general-purpose fasteners
• Wide Size Range — M3 x 0.5 through M20 x 2.5 covers common medium-to-large machine tapping work
• Machine Tap Shank — designed for power tapping on CNC mills, machining centres and tapping arms

How to Use

• Drill the Correct Tap Drill Size — use the correct pilot hole diameter for the metric thread you're cutting
• Use a Tapping Head or Rigid Tapping Cycle — set feed to match the thread pitch exactly for rigid tapping
• Run at the Recommended Speed — reduce speed for blind holes and harder materials
• Flood or Mist Coolant — lubricate to extend tap life and improve thread finish
• Retract Fully on Blind Holes — allow the spiral flute to clear chips fully before backing out
