Hand Tap DIN 352 Form C HSS-G non-serial form - M 8 x 1.25 | VÖLKEL
Hand Tap DIN 352 Form C HSS-G non-serial form - M 8 x 1.25
This hand tap is suited for controlled internal thread cutting by hand when you align the tool carefully and use suitable cutting fluid.
If the execution is a set, start with the entry tool and move through the sequence so the finishing tap sets the final profile. The execution follows DIN 352. Form C defines the chamfer and lead-in behavior.
- Cut internal threads manually in prepared holes during repair and workshop work.
- Use a suitable tap wrench to keep the tool aligned and to control torque.
- Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup.
- Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition.
Note Use cutting fluid suited to the workpiece material and keep the tool clean and protected after use.
- Helps you achieve repeatable internal thread form in workshop conditions
- Enables controlled chip transport when cutting fluid and reversal are managed
- Fits typical tap holding systems appropriate to the tool type
- Provides a defined chamfer form for consistent thread start
- Supports stable cutting edges for frequent use in service operations
Drawbacks
- Limited suitability for very hard materials unless a dedicated execution is specified
- Not suitable for high-performance machine tapping without controlled guidance
- Confirm the thread designation and ensure the hole is prepared and deburred.
- Clamp the workpiece so the hole axis stays stable while you tap.
- Mount the tap in a suitable tap wrench and keep the tool square to the hole.
- Apply cutting fluid suited to the workpiece material.
- Start the thread with steady torque while maintaining alignment.
- Reverse as needed to clear chips and reduce cutting load.
- Continue until the required thread depth is reached, then reverse out fully.
- Clean the thread and the tool, then protect the cutting edges for storage.

- When should you use a hand tap instead of a machine tap
- Use a hand tap when you need manual control in repair or assembly work, or when machine access is limited and you can keep the tool aligned with a tap wrench.
- What tool do you use to drive the tap
- Use a tap wrench that holds the square drive securely and lets you maintain alignment to the hole axis.
- What preparation is required before you tap the thread
- Prepare the core hole to the correct size for the thread designation, remove burrs, and add a small lead-in chamfer so the tap can start without side load.
- How do you control chips and cutting fluid during tapping
- Use cutting fluid suited to the workpiece material and clear chips regularly, especially in deeper holes or tougher materials, to prevent chip packing and tool overload.
- Where can you find additional technical information for this execution
- Use the following PDF for reference on hand tapping handling: Technical information hand taps as PDF
- How do you reduce risk of tap breakage
- Keep alignment stable, avoid side load at entry, and stop if torque rises sharply so you can inspect hole preparation, lubrication, and chip evacuation.
- Where can you find more product and application information in the VÖLKEL catalog
- Use this catalog for additional details and related items: VD 23 catalog as PDF
- How do you inspect the thread after tapping
- Check that the thread is clean, that the start is not damaged, and that the functional fit matches the mating component used in your assembly.
