Hand taps + dies 34-piece set ISO HSS-G M 6 - M 12

Hand taps + dies 34-piece set ISO HSS-G M 6 - M 12 is a machine tap you use to produce internal threads in drilled holes during machining and maintenance work.

Choose the tool based on thread system, chamfer form, and the way chips are evacuated in your process.

Application

  • Use for internal thread production in prepared holes in common engineering materials, within the limits of the tool grade.
  • Use in workshop production where stable alignment and adequate lubrication are available.
  • 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 thread system and nominal size from the product title to match the drawing and the mating part.

Benefits

  • Tool material is HSS as stated in the title which supports wear resistance in continuous use.
  • Suitable for mechanical engineering and maintenance work where repeatable fits are required.
  • Supports consistent internal thread quality when tool alignment and hole preparation are controlled.
Drawbacks
  • Not suitable for materials outside the hardness and toughness range intended for the tool grade.
  • Requires clean hole preparation and stable guidance, so it is not ideal for high throughput rough setups.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the thread system and nominal size in the product title against your drawing and mating part.
  2. Prepare the hole with the correct drilling operation and remove burrs from the entry.
  3. Select a suitable holder that keeps the tap aligned and provides controlled torque.
  4. Apply a cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material and the selected tap type.
  5. Start tapping with steady alignment and keep the axis straight to avoid flank damage.
  6. Advance with controlled feed and clear chips from the flutes as needed without forcing the tool.
  7. Stop at the required thread depth and withdraw the tap while maintaining alignment.
  8. Clean the thread and verify fit with the mating part or with a suitable gauge.
  9. Clean and protect the tool before storage to reduce corrosion and edge damage.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Which hole type is this tap geometry aimed at
Choose the geometry based on hole type and chip transport needs, as indicated by the flute or form information in the product title.
Where can you find geometry and application background for machine taps
Use the technical information for guidance on tap types, geometry terms, and general application limits. Technical information hand taps as PDF
What does Form B or Form C indicate
Form letters describe the lead and entry geometry that influences how the tool starts and how load builds up. Use the form stated in the title as a selection cue aligned with your thread depth and material behaviour.
Which tolerance class do you normally target with standard taps
Standard taps are commonly used for the usual fit class of the thread system. If your drawing calls for a special fit, select a dedicated tolerance execution rather than a general purpose tap.
Can you use one tap for both production and rework
You can use a suitable tap for controlled production and for careful rework when the thread is not severely damaged. For heavy rework, consider whether the base material and the thread profile still support clean cutting.
