TECWERK Machine Tap DIN 371B M2.5 x 0.45 — HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE, 2xD

The Maschinengewindebohrer DIN371B Univ.M2,5x0,45mm HSS‑Co PM HARDLUBE DIN371 2xD TW is a universal machine tap designed for reliable metric ISO threading in a wide range of materials, suitable for production and workshop environments

• HSS‑Co PM for high wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating for extended tool life
• Universal Form B for diverse materials

Consistent ISO metric threads for serial production

The HSS‑Co PM composition combined with the specified geometry ensures repeatable M2.5 x 0.45 metric threads to DIN 13 Blatt 1, making the tool suitable for cycle‑oriented machine tapping. The design conforms to DIN 371 dimensions, which supports predictable engagement and removal forces in machine‑centred workflows. Reliability in thread form reduces rework and supports a steady production flow.

Broad material compatibility reduces tool changes

The tap's Form B / universal geometry and flute design permit threading operations in a wide spectrum of workpiece materials, including conventional steel, stainless steel (VA), aluminium and copper alloys, as well as cast components. The incorporated peel chamfer (Schälanschnitt) is optimised for through‑hole threading, improving chip evacuation and reducing the risk of thread deformation during machining across these substrates.

HARDLUBE coating and optimised cutting geometry for longevity

A low‑friction HARDLUBE surface finish combined with an optimized edge rounding and cutting geometry reduces built‑up edge and wear under continuous operation. This pairing prolongs tool life and maintains dimensional consistency over longer tool cycles, which benefits shops seeking fewer tool changes and more uptime. The straight‑flute concept supports consistent chip formation in through‑hole conditions.

Machine compatibility and measured handling features

Constructed to DIN 371 length with a working length of 2xD, the tap has a shank Ø 2.8 mm and a right‑hand cutting direction suitable for standard machine holders. The tolerance class 6HX is specified for metric ISO threads and supports standard fit requirements in assembly processes. The combination of these dimensions and standards eases integration into existing tapping setups and tooling systems.
