Hand Tap Finisher DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 10 x 1.0

This hand tap finisher is designed for through and blind holes in fine threads. With its ground HSS geometry, it delivers smooth cutting and consistent results, even in challenging maintenance conditions.

• Universal use in general thread cutting by hand
• Process reliability thanks to precision-ground cutting edges
• Maintenance-ready – M10x1.0 widely used in grease nipples
• High accuracy in tolerance class ISO 2 (6H)
• Durable with proper lubrication and handling

1. Drill the core hole: Use Ø 9.0 mm drill, deburr and chamfer the hole. Clamp the workpiece securely.
2. Set up the tool: Insert the M10x1.0 tap into a tap wrench and align it perpendicular to the hole.
3. Apply lubricant: Coat tap and hole with cutting oil or paste.
4. Start tapping: Turn clockwise with steady pressure, ensuring straight alignment.
5. Cut to depth: Proceed carefully to full thread depth. Withdraw the tap slowly.
6. Clean & inspect: Remove chips, clean the thread, and check with a gauge or grease nipple M10x1.0.

1. Which materials can I use this tap on?
For unalloyed and low alloyed steels up to 900 N/mm². For stainless and harder alloys, use HSSE/HSSE-Co taps.

2. Why is M10x1.0 important in maintenance?
It is a standard fine thread for grease nipples in automotive, agricultural, and industrial machinery, making it vital for repair work.

3. What is the benefit of a finisher tap?
It cuts the final profile of the thread with high accuracy and surface quality, perfect for re-cutting and fine repairs.

4. How do I ensure alignment?
Keep the tap strictly perpendicular to the hole. Even small deviations can damage the thread profile.

5. Which lubrication is recommended?
Use cutting oil or paste for better performance and longer tool life.

6. How do I check the result?
Clean the thread and test with an M10x1.0 grease nipple, bolt, or thread gauge. It should fit smoothly without play.
