Hand Tap set of 2 pieces DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 50 x 1.5 | VÖLKEL
Hand Tap set of 2 pieces DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 50 x 1.5
You use this hand tap set for cutting internal threads in through holes or blind holes depending on execution in the designation M 50 x 1.5. The tap follows DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 50, so you select it by matching thread type and tolerance requirements from the drawing.
Thread quality depends on correct hole preparation, alignment in the first turns, and lubrication matched to the workpiece material. If you encounter heavy cutting load or poor chip evacuation, stop and correct the setup rather than forcing the tool.
- Cut internal threads in prepared holes for fasteners and fittings depending on execution
- Restore worn internal threads during maintenance and overhaul tasks
- Use in mechanical engineering, assembly, and service operations where thread fit is function critical
- Hold the square drive in a suitable tap wrench and keep the tool aligned to the bore 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
Note Select the variant that matches the thread standard, hand direction, and tolerance requirements stated in your drawing.
- Produces internal threads suitable for mechanical fastening and sealing applications depending on thread form
- Set format supports a staged approach when the execution uses more than one tap
- Standard based geometry supports interchangeability when the matching standard is used
- Tool steel grade supports stable cutting edges for typical workshop materials depending on execution
Drawbacks
- Limited performance in very hard, abrasive, or heat treated materials depending on tool grade and coating
- Not suitable for high volume production where cycle time and tool life must be maximized
- Confirm the thread specification in the product name and match it to the drawing requirement
- Prepare the hole according to your drilling and chamfering process specification
- Select the correct tap from the set according to the execution and tool markings
- Align the tap square to the hole axis before you start the first turns
- Apply a lubricant suited to the workpiece material and tap type
- Drive the tap with steady control and clear chips regularly to reduce cutting load
- Continue until the required thread depth is reached according to your process plan
- Reverse the tool out, remove chips from the thread, and clean the tap before storage

- What is the practical benefit of a hand tap set?
- A set can support a staged approach where you start the thread and then finish it with a second tool depending on the set execution. This can help you control cutting load and thread quality in manual work.
- How do you prepare the hole before tapping?
- Follow your drawing and process plan for drilling and chamfering. Correct preparation supports alignment and helps the tap enter without damaging the first threads.
- Which lubricant should you use?
- Choose lubricant based on workpiece material and the tap type. In many workshop cases, cutting oil supports thread quality, while emulsions may be used when your process requires it.
- What reduces the risk of tap breakage?
- Keep the tap square in the start, drive it with steady control, and clear chips often enough that cutting load stays stable. Stop if resistance rises sharply and correct the setup before continuing.
- How do you check the finished thread?
- Use a suitable gauge, a mating screw, or the inspection method defined in your quality plan. If fit is tight, check hole preparation, alignment, and tool condition before reworking.
- Where can you find additional technical information for this tool type?
- Use the technical information document for background on geometry terms, selection logic, and handling notes. Technical information hand taps as PDF
- What is a sensible inspection method after cutting?
- Use the inspection method defined in your quality plan and check fit and surface. If you see tearing or tight fit, review alignment, lubrication, and tool condition.
- Where can you find the full VÖLKEL catalog for selection support?
- Use the catalog for the complete range, execution variants, and reference tables. VD 23 catalog as PDF
