Hand Tap set of 2 pieces DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 13 x 0.75 | VÖLKEL
Hand Tap set of 2 pieces DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 13 x 0.75
You cut or restore internal threads by hand with a two piece hand tap set. This is common in maintenance and fitting work where a machine process is not practical.
Select the set by the thread designation and standard stated in the product name and use a suitable tap wrench. Cutting fluid and square alignment at the start are key drivers for thread quality.
- Cut internal threads by hand in maintenance, fitting work, and workshop production.
- Use with a tap wrench to control torque and keep the tap aligned to the hole axis.
- Use suitable cutting fluid and remove chips from the flutes to avoid scoring of the new thread.
- 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 Core hole quality and alignment have a direct effect on thread accuracy. Use cutting fluid suitable for the material.
- Two stage set supports progressive thread cutting in manual operations.
- Good control in maintenance and fitting work when machine access is limited.
- Ground HSS-G execution supports consistent thread geometry when used correctly.
- Compatible with standard tap wrenches for workshop use.
Drawbacks
- Cutting load increases in hard materials and can require a different tap material or geometry.
- Manual tapping is slower and more operator dependent than machine tapping.
- Check that the core hole is drilled and deburred and that the entry is lightly chamfered.
- Clamp the workpiece securely so the hole axis stays stable during threading.
- Mount the first tap in a tap wrench and apply suitable cutting fluid to the hole.
- Align the tap to the hole axis and start cutting with controlled torque.
- Advance the tap gradually and reverse briefly at intervals to clear chips from the flutes.
- Remove the first tap and clean the hole to remove chips and residual fluid.
- Mount the second tap and repeat the cutting process to bring the thread to final form.
- Remove the tap, clean the new thread, and check fit with the matching screw.

- How do you select the correct hand tap set for your thread?
- Match the thread designation and standard in the product name to your required internal thread and the mating screw.
- Which wrench is suitable for hand taps?
- Use a tap wrench that holds the square drive securely and supports controlled torque and alignment.
- What is the most common cause of poor thread quality when hand tapping?
- Misalignment at the start is common, so focus on keeping the tap square to the hole axis and keeping the hole clean from chips.
- How do you reduce the risk of tap breakage in manual use?
- Use suitable cutting fluid, avoid side loading, and stop if torque rises suddenly so you can check alignment and chip evacuation.
