Fluteless Machine Tap DIN 371 Form C HSSE ISO3X | VÖLKEL
Fluteless Machine Tap with oil groove DIN 371 Form C HSSE ISO3X (6GX) - M 10 x 1.5
This fluteless machine tap is intended for chipless internal thread forming in a machine controlled process. You use it when the workpiece material can be plastically formed and when a formed thread is preferred for process cleanliness and repeatability. The product name already defines the metric thread, tolerance class, and tool style for selection.
The M designation identifies metric ISO threads that are standard across general engineering, maintenance, and machine building. HSSE or HSS-E indicates cobalt alloyed high speed steel, which supports hot hardness and wear resistance under more demanding cutting conditions. Form C in this context identifies a tool geometry aligned to the stated tapping application and hole condition. An oil groove supports lubricant supply into the forming zone during the threading process.
- Use in workshop production, maintenance, and fabrication where the stated thread designation must be matched accurately.
- Select the tool by the thread system, size, and form stated in the product name before the job begins.
- Use in machine controlled thread forming where the workpiece material is suitable for plastic deformation.
- Plan the process around thread forming rather than chip producing cutting.
Note Confirm thread designation, holder concept, and workpiece condition before you start the operation.
- Chipless forming supports a clean process where chips are undesirable.
- Formed threads can provide dense flank structure in suitable ductile materials.
- Oil groove supports lubricant flow into the working zone.
- HSSE construction supports wear resistance and hot hardness tendencies.
Drawbacks
- Thread forming is limited to materials with sufficient ductility and requires process control matched to forming.
- It is not intended for brittle materials that do not respond well to plastic deformation.
- Confirm that the workpiece material is suitable for thread forming and that the named thread matches the drawing.
- Prepare the core hole for a forming process rather than a chip producing cutting process.
- Clamp the tool securely in a holder that supports accurate alignment and synchronized drive.
- Apply suitable lubricant so the forming zone is supplied during the operation.
- Run the tool with controlled feed so the thread profile is formed consistently along the hole.
- Reverse the tool cleanly, then inspect the formed thread and the surface condition of the work area.

- How do you choose the correct product variant?
Match the thread designation, standard, and execution from the product name to the drawing or the existing mating thread before you start the job.
- How do you decide whether the product fits your process?
Check whether you need manual handling, assisted driving, or a controlled machine process, and confirm that the product type in the name matches that use case.
- What should you inspect before the threading operation?
Inspect hole or workpiece condition, alignment, lubrication plan, and holder suitability so the tool can work under controlled conditions.
