HexTap Type DS - Double ended tap, Multi-Drive Form C HSS-G - M 52 x 2.0

• Use the double ended tap for compact bit based threading work where both usable ends must be handled without damaging the cutting geometry.
• The Multi-Drive design supports workshop handling with compatible bit or drive systems stated for the tool family.
• Check that the drive holder grips the bit securely before starting the 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 Verify the workpiece preparation, thread designation, and holder alignment before starting. Stop if torque rises suddenly or if the tool no longer follows the hole axis.

• The bit based design supports compact handling in assembly and service environments.
• Multi drive or hex drive naming gives a clear holder selection clue without relying on the article number.
• The double ended construction provides two functional ends in one compact tool.
• The HSS-G material designation is visible for reliable product differentiation.

• The bit based tool must be driven in a secure holder because wobble can damage the thread.
• Not intended to replace a rigid production tapping setup for high volume machining.

1. Confirm that the thread designation matches the part or drawing.
2. Insert the bit securely into the compatible drive holder.
3. Prepare the hole and clean the entry edge before tapping.
4. Align the bit with the hole axis before applying torque.
5. Apply suitable lubricant and start the thread at low, controlled speed.
6. Keep the holder straight while chips move out through the flutes.
7. Stop at the required depth and retract the tool under control.
8. Clean the tool and protect the cutting edges before storage.

How do you select the correct variant

Select M 52 x 2.0 only when it matches the drawing, mating component, and required process. Also check the tool type, material designation, and holder or machine setup before use.

What does Mf mean in this product context

Metric fine ISO threads use a smaller pitch than the matching coarse metric size and are selected when the drawing calls for fine adjustment or limited thread depth.

Which holder logic matters for bit based tools

The bit must sit securely in the drive holder so torque is transmitted straight into the tool and not through side load.

When should you prefer a rigid machine tapping setup

Choose a rigid production tapping setup when the process requires validated cycle time, high repetition, or strict machine parameters.

What does HSS-G tell you

HSS-G is the tool material or execution stated in the product data. Use it as a selection fact together with thread designation and tool geometry.
