Machine tap M2×0.4 (DIN 371C) — HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE, 2×D (TECWERK)

A machine tap M2×0.4 (DIN 371C) engineered for producing metric ISO blind threads across a wide range of materials in both workshop and production environments

• HSS‑Co PM material for high wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating to reduce friction and build‑up
• Right‑hand spiral 40° for controlled chip evacuation
• DIN 371 2×D length optimised for blind holes

Consistent thread quality and extended tool life

The Machine tap M2×0.4 (DIN 371C) is manufactured from HSS‑Co PM, a powder‑metallurgy cobalt high‑speed steel that maintains hardness at elevated temperatures and increases resistance to wear. Combined with the HARDLUBE coating, friction at the cutting edge is lowered, which reduces chip adhesion and prolongs tool life. The result is repeatable metric ISO thread quality and a reduced need for frequent regrinding or replacement, supporting continuous production with fewer interruptions.

Reliable performance in blind‑hole applications

Designed to the DIN 371 2×D length, the tap features a right‑hand spiral 40° that actively channels chips away from the cutting zone, significantly lowering the risk of chip jamming in blind hole threads. The optimised cutting geometry and edge rounding assist in forming a clean flank and root, so holes finished with this tool show consistent form and fit. This focused geometry facilitates secure thread starts and improves process reliability when machining recessed or blind features.

Versatile material compatibility for fewer tools

As a universal Form C tap, the tool is suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, as well as cast iron, enabling one tool to cover multiple applications. The combination of cobalt‑enriched substrate and specialised coating provides a balance between toughness and hardness, which helps when switching between workpiece materials. This versatility reduces inventory complexity and aids small batches or mixed‑material production runs.

Practical design for production and workshop use

The tap’s design follows standard norms, offering a tolerance field 6HX in accordance with DIN 13, sheet 1, and a shank Ø 2.8 mm compatible with common collet and holder systems. The Form C universal geometry and standardised dimensions make the tap straightforward to integrate into existing toolsets and automated processes. For machining planners, the standard conformity simplifies tool selection and ensures interchangeability across machines and fixtures.

FAQ

What materials can the tap machine thread?
The TECWERK machine tap M2×0.4 (DIN 371C) is suitable for steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, as well as cast iron, thanks to its HSS‑Co PM substrate and HARDLUBE coating.

Is this tap suitable for blind holes?
Yes — the DIN 371 2×D length and right‑hand spiral 40° are specifically matched to blind‑hole threading to improve chip control and reduce the risk of jamming.

How does the HARDLUBE coating benefit machining?
HARDLUBE reduces friction and adhesion at the cutting edge, which lowers tool wear and helps maintain surface finish and dimensional stability when using the M2×0.4 machine tap.

Which thread standard and tolerance does the tool meet?
The tap produces metric ISO threads to DIN 13 sheet 1 and is manufactured to a tolerance field of 6HX, ensuring compatibility with standard metric fasteners.

What are the key dimensional details of the tap (shank, length, SKU)?
Shank Ø 2.8 mm, length DIN 371 (2×D), designation and article number SKU 2000867989NW for ordering and tool identification.
