VÖLKEL Hand Tap Finisher M10x1.25 HSS-G DIN 2181

VÖLKEL Hand Tap Finisher DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 10 x 1.25

The VÖLKEL hand tap finisher according to DIN 2181 is made of premium HSS-G (ground high-speed steel) and designed for precise metric ISO fine threads M10 x 1.25. It is widely used for grease fitting and lubrication head threads. Optimized for manual use, suitable for through and blind holes in unalloyed and low-alloy steels up to 900 N/mm².

Application & Benefits

This hand tap delivers reliable results in these areas:

  • Specifically for grease fitting and lubrication head threads.
  • General-purpose use in metalworking workshops.
  • Best suited for machinable steels up to 900 N/mm².
  • Effective for both through and blind holes.
  • Produces metric fine threads per DIN 13; tool manufactured to DIN 2181.

Step-by-Step Guide (Hand Tapping)
  1. Preparation: Drill the correct core hole, deburr carefully, and verify size accuracy.
  2. Clamping: Place the tap securely in a wrench; align it square to the hole.
  3. Lubrication: Apply cutting oil liberally to tool and hole.
  4. Starting: Engage the tap clockwise until it cuts smoothly.
  5. Tapping: Rotate steadily, keeping the tap aligned and lubricated.
  6. Finishing: Once depth is achieved, reverse out carefully counter-clockwise.
  7. Cleaning & Inspection: Remove chips, clean the thread, and verify with a gauge or fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is this tap mainly used for?

A1: Especially for grease fitting and lubrication head threads and other fine pitch thread applications.

Q2: What does DIN 2181 stand for?

A2: It is the standard for hand taps (taper, intermediate, finisher) defining dimensions and tolerances for metric ISO threads.

Q3: Why choose HSS-G material?

A3: It provides higher accuracy, smoother threads, and better tool life compared to conventional HSS taps.

Q4: Is this tap designed for machine use?

A4: No, it is primarily intended for manual tapping; machine use is not recommended.

Q5: Which materials can it cut?

A5: Unalloyed and low-alloy steels up to 900 N/mm² tensile strength.
