This hand tap finisher to DIN 5157 in HSSE is made for cutting a right hand internal thread in G (BSP) 1/8 x 28. Use it when the workpiece, drawing, or mating component requires this exact thread designation and when the selected tap stage matches the manual tapping sequence.
The finisher completes the internal thread profile after the earlier hand tap stage or during careful reworking. G BSP identifies a parallel pipe thread used for pipe connections where sealing is normally handled by a separate sealing surface or seal element. The referenced thread standard is DIN ISO 228. HSSE is a cobalt alloyed high speed steel grade used where the manual cut is more demanding or heat input can be higher. Check the prepared hole, holder, lubrication, and alignment before use in maintenance benches, repair workshops, assembly work, and tool rooms.
- cutting or reworking internal G (BSP) 1/8 x 28 threads where the drawing or mating part requires this exact designation
- The finisher completes the internal thread profile after the earlier hand tap stage or during careful reworking.
- right hand thread work in manual tapping setups and controlled repair operations
- selection by DIN 5157 tool dimensions and the stated thread standard where applicable
- pipe thread maintenance where the parallel G BSP thread must match the connection specification
- 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 Match G (BSP) 1/8 x 28, tap stage, thread direction, holder fit, and hole preparation before the tool enters the workpiece.
- HSSE cutting material is stated in the product data and supports selection by material execution instead of appearance
- DIN 5157 dimension reference helps you compare the tool with drawings, stock systems, and existing tool lists
- tolerance class medium gives a clear selection reference for the internal thread requirement
- finisher stage focuses on completing the thread profile after the earlier hand tap stage
- single stage supply helps replace only the final tap when the starting tools are still available
Drawbacks
- The product is only correct for G (BSP) 1/8 x 28 and the stated tap stage; use another item from Threading tools if thread, direction, or stage differs.
- Confirm that the component requires G (BSP) 1/8 x 28 and that thread direction matches the selected tool.
- Prepare the tapping hole and secure the workpiece so the tap can enter square to the surface.
- Select a suitable tap wrench or guided driving setup for the tap shank.
- Use the finisher after the preceding hand tap stage has prepared the thread.
- Apply suitable cutting oil before the cutting edges engage the workpiece.
- Turn steadily and remove chips from the flutes at controlled intervals.
- Complete the profile carefully and avoid forcing the tap at the end of the thread.
- Clean the thread and verify the result with the mating part or an appropriate inspection method.

- Which exact thread is this product for?
- This product is for G (BSP) 1/8 x 28. G BSP identifies a parallel pipe thread used for pipe connections where sealing is normally handled by a separate sealing surface or seal element. The referenced thread standard is DIN ISO 228.
- Is this product for internal or external threads?
- This product is for internal threads. Use a round die when the workpiece needs an external thread.
- How do you choose the correct tap stage?
- Choose the stage by the manual tapping sequence. The finisher completes the internal thread profile after the earlier hand tap stage or during careful reworking.
- What should be checked before ordering?
- Check thread system, size, pitch, standard, tolerance class where specified, and tap stage against the drawing or existing component.
- Where can you find technical background for hand taps?
- Use the Technical information hand taps as PDF.
- Can this product be used for repair or thread cleaning?
- Use it for re tapping or cleaning only when the existing internal thread is G (BSP) 1/8 x 28 and the thread condition still allows controlled cutting.
- Where can you compare inch based thread references with metric workshop units?
- Use the Inch to mm conversion table as PDF.
- How do you avoid selecting the wrong inch thread series?
- Compare thread family, nominal size, pitch in threads per inch, and direction. Similar inch sizes from different thread systems are not interchangeable.
- Where can you find the matching VÖLKEL threading tool catalog?
- Use the VD 23 catalog as PDF.
