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

TECWERK Machine Tap Set M3–M12 is a workshop and production-ready kit for metric thread making, designed for machine tapping applications and including matching pilot drills for reliable hole preparation

• Machine taps DIN 371/376, metric M3–M12
• HSS and HSS‑Co cutting materials
• Includes DIN 338 twist drills for pilots
• Comprehensive range for workshop use

Standards‑based threading to keep production moving

The machine tap set conforms to DIN 371/376, providing a predictable basis for thread quality and interchangeability in industrial applications. The combination of ground taps and standard geometry reduces process variation and supports reproducible results on tapping machines; this makes the set suitable where repeatability is essential. The supplied sizes cover the common metric range M3–M12, enabling consolidation of inventory and faster job set‑up. By matching tap geometry to established standards, the kit minimises rework and machine downtime, contributing to measurable productivity gains.

Cutting materials chosen for life and process reliability

Primary cutting materials in the kit are HSS and HSS‑Co. High‑speed steel offers good wear resistance and toughness for general steel and non‑ferrous work, while cobalt‑alloyed HSS‑Co increases hot‑hardness and tool life when machining tougher materials or under elevated cutting temperatures. This material selection supports higher cutting speeds and improves resistance to premature wear, which in turn lowers the frequency of tool changes. For production environments where cumulative tool costs and process stability matter, the use of HSS‑Co taps delivers a clear operational advantage.

Complete set with pilot drills for faster, safer tapping

The set includes matching DIN 338 twist drills in diameters Ø 2.5 / 3.3 / 4.2 / 5.0 / 6.8 / 8.5 / 10.2 mm, simplifying pilot hole preparation and ensuring correct drill‑to‑tap ratios. Having the correct pilot sizes on hand reduces setup time, avoids mis‑sized holes and helps maintain thread tolerances. The inclusion of twist drills together with machine taps makes the kit an efficient single‑source solution for both maintenance benches and small production lines. For specification questions or to confirm suitability for a given machining process, Metav’s specialists are available to advise on tool selection and process parameters.
