VÖLKEL Hand Tap Rougher DIN 352 HSS-G M4 x 0.7

VÖLKEL Hand Tap Rougher DIN 352 HSS-G – M 4 x 0.7

The VÖLKEL Hand Tap Rougher (DIN 352, HSS-G) is designed for precise hand tapping of M4 x 0.7 internal threads. It is suitable for general use in non-abrasive materials up to 900 N/mm², including unalloyed and low-alloy steels, and works in both through and blind holes. Ground HSS-G cutting edges ensure dimensional accuracy and long tool life at an attractive price point.

Application & Benefits

  • For general use in workshop and assembly
  • Non-abrasive materials up to 900 N/mm²
  • Suitable for unalloyed and low-alloy steels
  • For through and blind holes
  • Optimised for hand tapping
  • Ground HSS-G geometry for clean threads and durability
  • Great value: €2.40 per piece

Step-by-Step (Hand Tapping Guide)

  1. Prepare: Drill the correct tapping size, deburr and clean the bore.
  2. Secure: Clamp the workpiece firmly to avoid tilt or misalignment.
  3. Lubricate: Apply cutting oil/paste to bore and tap to reduce friction.
  4. Align & start: Keep the tap perpendicular and turn it evenly clockwise by hand.
  5. Cut to depth: Continue with steady pressure until the target depth is reached.
  6. Finish: Back the tap out, clean the bore and check with a matching screw or gauge.

Tip: For premium results, use a rougher, intermediate and finisher sequence where applicable.

FAQ

Can I use this tap in a machine?
This model is primarily intended for hand use. For machine operations, consider taps to DIN 371/376.

Do I need cutting fluid?
Yes. Cutting fluid improves surface finish and extends tool life.

What distinguishes a rougher tap?
The rougher is the first tap in a set and opens the thread profile before intermediate and finisher taps complete it.

How long will the tool last?
With correct lubrication and alignment, the HSS-G tap provides long service life and repeatable accuracy.

Is it supplied individually?
Yes. Single piece, article no. 27330-1, price €2.40.
