Machine Nut Tap FZ HSS-G left hand thread - Tr 14 x 3 LH | VÖLKEL

Machine Nut Tap FZ HSS-G left hand thread - Tr 14 x 3 LH

You produce threaded nuts with a machine nut tap in a controlled machining process. The tool supports consistent thread geometry when the setup and lubrication are stable.

Select the tool by the thread designation and standard in the product name and mount it in a suitable tapping chuck. Use cutting fluid and monitor chip evacuation to protect the thread surface.

Application

  • Produce internal threads in nuts and similar short components in mechanical engineering and maintenance.
  • Typically used in a machine tool with a suitable tapping chuck or tool holder for controlled feed.
  • Best suited for through holes where chip evacuation is reliable, depending on flute form.
  • 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 Clamp the nut securely and align the tool to avoid cross threading. Use a stable feed to control chip load.

Benefits

  • Supports series production of threaded nuts with consistent geometry.
  • Machine driven operation reduces operator variability compared with manual tapping.
  • DIN based execution supports standardized selection.
  • Tool change is quick in common machine holders.
Drawbacks
  • Chip evacuation limits performance in blind holes unless the tool design is specified for that condition.
  • Requires stable machine alignment and suitable lubrication to avoid thread damage.

Step by step

  1. Prepare the part so the hole is drilled and deburred and the start is chamfered.
  2. Clamp the nut or component securely in the fixture so it cannot rotate.
  3. Mount the tap in a suitable machine holder and set a controlled feed and stop position.
  4. Apply cutting fluid to the tool and to the hole entry area before you start.
  5. Start the tapping cycle and monitor load for signs of misalignment or chip packing.
  6. Stop the cycle and retract the tap according to your machine sequence.
  7. Clean the thread and remove chips from the part and the tool.
  8. Check thread fit with a matching screw or with your inspection method.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is a machine nut tap used for?
It is used to cut internal threads in nuts and similar short parts, typically in through holes where chips can evacuate reliably.
Which holder is suitable in a machine tool?
Use a suitable tapping chuck or rigid tool holder that keeps the tap aligned to the hole axis and supports controlled feed.
Can you use a machine nut tap for blind holes?
Blind hole use depends on tool geometry and chip evacuation, so confirm that the tap execution is specified for your hole type before you run the process.
What should you monitor during machine tapping?
Monitor torque and sound, and stop if you see signs of misalignment, chip packing, or insufficient lubrication.
Where can you find additional technical information on machine taps?
Use this PDF for general machine tap selection and process notes: Technical information machine taps as PDF
How do you control thread quality in series work?
Stabilize the clamping, keep lubrication consistent, and use a repeatable inspection method to confirm thread fit over the batch.
