VÖLKEL HexTap VX M 27 x 3.0 – impact tap bit for impact wrenches

The VÖLKEL HexTap VX M 27 x 3.0 is an impact tap bit with an 11 mm hexagon drive for metric ISO threads to DIN 13. It is conveniently operated with an impact wrench and securely connected via a matching hexagon adapter. This lets you cut threads with high power while keeping precise control – in steel construction, mechanical engineering and wherever threads have to be produced quickly and reliably.

For size M 27 x 3.0, VÖLKEL recommends an impact wrench with 3/4" drive and the Adapter 3/4" x 11 mm (Art. No. 10913). The tap is made of ground solid HSS-E and TiAlN-coated for increased service life and better cutting results.

Application

  • Thread cutting with an impact wrench via the matching Adapter 3/4" x 11 mm.
  • For general use in easily machinable materials up to 900 N/mm².
  • For unalloyed and low-alloy materials.
  • Chamfer form B (spiral point) for through holes.
  • For use in steel construction, mechanical engineering, assembly and maintenance.

Note Prepare the core hole with a diameter of 24 mm and position the tap straight in line with the hole axis.

Benefits

  • Thread cutting directly with the impact wrench – fast and powerful.
  • 11 mm hexagon drive for a secure connection via the adapter.
  • Ground from solid HSS-E.
  • TiAlN coating for increased service life and better cutting results.
  • Uniform 11 mm drive from M 8 to M 30: one adapter per impact wrench size is all you need.

Limitations

  • Designed for through holes, not for blind holes.
  • Not intended for high-alloy or difficult-to-machine materials above 900 N/mm².

Step by step

  1. Drill the core hole with a diameter of 24 mm.
  2. Push the Adapter 3/4" x 11 mm fully onto the drive of the impact wrench.
  3. Insert the HexTap VX with its 11 mm hexagon into the adapter as far as it will go.
  4. Apply a suitable cutting fluid, for example VÖLKEL Cutting Oil N3S.
  5. Position the tap at a right angle and cut the thread through the workpiece with controlled force.
  6. Switch to reverse, back the tap out and remove the chips.
  7. Check the thread with a screw or a thread gauge.
