Product description



Spiral-flute machine tap made to DIN 371 / 374 / 376 (DIN 371 for M threads ≤ 10 mm, DIN 376 for M ≥ 12 mm, DIN 374 for fine threads). Intended for cutting internal metric M and metric fine MF. Spiral flutes with a helix angle of 45° (R45) carry chips back towards the shank and out of the hole, for use in blind holes. Made from HSSE (HSS-E, cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel) with a TiCN coating.
Applications
- Cutting metric M threads in blind holes
- Tapping materials that produce long chips, including ductile steel, stainless steel and aluminium
- Machining components where chips must be removed towards the hole opening
- Threads close to the bottom of a hole
The spiral flutes carry chips towards the hole opening. The tap is intended for blind holes and materials that produce long, continuous chips.

Dimensions (mm). DIN 371 = reinforced shank (M≤10), DIN 376 = reduced shank (M≥12, coarse pitch), DIN 374 = reduced shank for metric fine threads (MF). The neck length l₁ is not standardised for reduced shanks (—). Lead lᴄ (cutting taper) = 2,5×P (spiral flute R45°). Tap drill diameter = recommended drill diameter before tapping.
Selecting a coating for the workpiece material
| Coating | Application |
|---|---|
| TiN (gold) | General-purpose coating; structural, carbon and alloy steels up to approximately 900 MPa, cast iron and non-ferrous metals. |
| TiCN (grey-blue) | Harder and more abrasion-resistant than TiN; higher-strength steel, stainless steel, hardened steel up to approximately 45 HRC and ductile materials. |
| TiAlN (anthracite) | Dry machining or MQL; hard and difficult-to-machine materials, stainless steel, titanium, Inconel and cast iron. |
This product has a TiCN coating: harder and more abrasion-resistant than TiN; for higher-strength steel, stainless steel, hardened steel up to approximately 45 HRC and ductile materials.
What is the lead?
The lead is the tapered cutting section at the front of the tap. The initial thread cutting is distributed over its first few threads. A longer lead makes entry into the material easier, but the full thread ends farther from the bottom of a blind hole. Type C/E lead (cutting taper), approximately 2-3,5 threads, for tapping close to the bottom of a hole. A shorter lead allows the thread to be cut close to the bottom of a blind hole.
FAQ
Through holes or blind holes?
A spiral-flute tap carries chips towards the hole opening and is intended for blind holes.
Which coating should I choose?
TiN for general applications, TiCN for higher-strength and stainless steels, TiAlN for hard materials and dry machining.
How does HSSE differ from ordinary HSS?
HSSE (HSS-E) contains cobalt to increase hot hardness and cutting-edge durability compared with ordinary HSS.
Coolant?
Emulsion or tapping oil is recommended.
