This hand tap set provides a manual threading sequence for internal threads with thread designation M 45 x 2.0 in repair workshops, mechanical engineering, and fitting work according to DIN 2181 in HSS-G. Selection starts with the exact metric thread designation and the material or execution stated in the product name. The taps are driven with a tap wrench, so the first turns must be guided carefully.
M identifies an ISO metric thread family used for general mechanical fastening, so the nominal diameter and pitch must match the drawing and the mating part. Use the thread designation in the product name as the selection reference and avoid mixing taps with a similar nominal diameter but different pitch.
- Manual internal thread cutting in prepared core holes during repair, fitting, and assembly work.
- Thread production or repair where hand guidance gives better control than powered driving.
- Use with a tap wrench that keeps the tap aligned to the hole axis.
- Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
- Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition
- Selection by thread designation M 45 x 2.0, pitch, and internal thread requirement.
Note Confirm the thread designation, the holder or driving method, the workpiece material, and the inspection requirement before starting the operation.
- Two piece hand tap set supports manual internal threading with controlled start and finish stages.
- Standard reference DIN 2181 supports selection against workshop drawings.
- Execution HSS-G gives a defined basis for manual tapping conditions.
- Manual driving gives direct feedback when alignment, lubrication, or chip evacuation need attention.
Drawbacks
- Manual tapping is sensitive to angled starts and wrong core hole preparation.
- The set is slower than a validated machine tapping process for larger series.
- Confirm the thread designation and core hole requirement from your process data.
- Deburr the hole entry and secure the workpiece.
- Clamp the first tap in a suitable tap wrench.
- Align the tap with the hole axis before applying torque.
- Apply cutting lubricant suited to the material.
- Cut with controlled turns and clear chips from the flutes when resistance increases.
- Continue the sequence with the finishing tap from the set.
- Clean the internal thread and inspect the fit with the specified method.
- 1 set Hand Tap set of 2 pieces DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 45 x 2.0
- Product type: Hand tap set
- Standard: DIN 2181
- Tool material or execution: HSS-G
- Thread system: M
- Thread designation: M 45 x 2.0
- How do you choose the correct hand tap set?
- Choose the set by the exact thread designation M 45 x 2.0, pitch, standard, and tool execution. A tap with the same nominal diameter but another pitch will not cut the required thread.
- Which holder do you need for manual tapping?
- Use a tap wrench that clamps the square shank securely and gives enough control to keep the tap aligned with the hole axis.
- What must be prepared before using the hand tap?
- Prepare the correct core hole from your process data, deburr the entry, secure the part, and apply cutting lubricant suited to the material.
- How do you reduce the risk of a broken tap?
- Keep the tap aligned, avoid side load, clear chips from the flutes, and stop when resistance rises suddenly.
- Where can you find technical information for hand taps?
- Use the technical information document for handling and selection context. Technical information hand taps as PDF
- When is a machine tap a better choice?
- A machine tap can be the better choice when the process uses a rigid spindle, defined feed, and repeatable production conditions. A hand tap set is selected for manual control.
- How do you inspect the internal thread after tapping?
- Use the inspection method required by the drawing or quality plan and confirm that the mating screw or gauge runs correctly without excessive force.
- Where can you find the VÖLKEL catalog for additional variants?
- Use the catalog for the full threading tool range, execution variants, and reference information. VD 23 catalog as PDF
