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

Genuine VÖLKEL machine taps to DIN 376, HSS-E, Form C with a 35° spiral flute for cutting internal UNC (Unified Coarse) 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 1/2" to 1".

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
• UNC Thread Form — Unified Coarse thread profile for standard imperial fasteners
• Size Range — 1/2" x 13 through 1" x 8 covers common medium-to-large imperial 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 UNC 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
