What does GREEN RING stand for at VÖLKEL?

GREEN RING identifies HSSE machine taps with spiral flute geometry optimized for blind holes and long-chipping materials, ensuring secure chip evacuation and consistent thread quality.

Which materials is the set suitable for?

For general use in unalloyed and low-alloy steels up to 900 N/mm² and other long-chipping materials. For stainless/high-alloy steels, choose suitable HSSE/HSSE-Co variants.

Why are twist drills included?

The included twist drills match the core hole diameters for M3–M12, creating an optimal pairing between drilling and tapping for accuracy and tool life.

Is the set designed for blind holes?

Yes. The spiral flute pulls chips out of the blind hole, reducing chip packing and improving process reliability.

Can I replace individual sizes if one breaks?

Yes. All sizes are available individually—see the linked product pages in the contents section.

From core hole to finished thread, everything you need is in one box—covering the sizes you use daily in service, assembly, and repair.

Step-by-Step (Machine tapping)

Drill the core hole: Pick the matching twist drill (e.g., M8 → Ø 6.8 mm). Drill, deburr, and lightly countersink.
Clamp & align: Secure the tap coaxially (length-compensation chuck recommended). Rigidly clamp the workpiece.
Lubricate: Apply cutting oil/gel to tool and bore—especially important in blind holes.
Tap the thread: Use appropriate speed/feed. The spiral flute conveys chips upward out of the blind hole.
Retract: Back the tool out in a controlled manner. Avoid lateral loading.
Clean & verify: Remove chips, visually inspect, and verify with screw/gauge (6H).
Document (optional): Note parameters and tool life for repeat jobs.

FAQ

Can I combine VÖLKEL drills and cutting oils with this set?
Absolutely. The matched drills are included; using cutting oil/gel further improves surface finish and tool life.

How do I determine the right cutting speed?
It depends on the material. Start with conservative parameters, observe chip form and finish, then optimize.

Is the set suitable for use on CNC machines?
Yes—use appropriate holders (e.g., tapping chucks) and correct speed/feed synchronization.

What if chips pack in a blind hole?
Increase lubrication, clear chips, and adjust cutting data. The spiral flute helps evacuate chips upward.

Can I reorder individual sizes if one wears out?
Yes. Each size is available separately—see the links in “Set Contents”.
