Machine Tap Set DIN 371/376 B VA M3–M12, 14-piece, HSS‑Co – TECWERK

The Machine Tap Set DIN 371/376 B VA is a workshop-ready threading kit for metric machine tapping, designed for stainless steel applications and standard thread profiles.

• HSS‑Co taps for high wear resistance
• Coverage M3–M12 for metric threads
• Includes twist drills for precise pilot holes

Consistent, machine-grade thread quality for production use

The set is engineered for dependable thread manufacturing in powered tapping operations. With HSS‑Co cutting material and conformity to DIN 371/376, the taps deliver consistent flank form and thread geometry, which reduces rework and ensures interchangeability with standard fasteners. The use of machine taps means secure engagement with tapping spindles and heads, keeping cycle times predictable and thread quality repeatable in batch workflows.

Complete contents that simplify preparation and machining

Delivered as a 14-piece kit, the set contains the machine taps for metric sizes M3–M12 together with matched pilot twist drills. The drill sizes (Ø 2.5, 3.3, 4.2, 5.0, 6.8, 8.5, 10.2 mm) follow the set’s thread range and the drills are manufactured to DIN 338 in HSS‑Co, which improves centring and reduces drill wander before tapping. Having both taps and drills in one kit streamlines tool selection and shortens setup times at the machine.

Material suitability and explained benefits for stainless steel work

Marked as type VA, the kit is prepared with stainless steel applications in mind; the HSS‑Co composition provides greater hot‑hardness and abrasion resistance compared with standard high‑speed steels, supporting machining of tougher alloys and stainless grades. The combination of VA orientation and cobalt‑alloy steel improves service life under the higher friction conditions often encountered when threading corrosion‑resistant materials, leading to fewer tool changes and a steadier production output.

Practical advantages for workshop efficiency and reliability

Adopting a standardised set reduces tool inventory complexity and supports process standardisation across multiple machines. The conformance to DIN standards ensures the taps match industry expectations for profile and fit, simplifying quality control and inspection. In addition to technical reliability, the kit’s complete composition encourages predictable lead times on projects and helps maintain throughput by reducing interruptions caused by missing pilot drills or mismatched taps.
