Machine Tap DIN 371C Univ. M5 x 0.8 HSS‑Co PM HARDLUBE — TECWERK universal machine tap with 40° spiral

The Machine Tap DIN 371C Univ. M5 x 0.8 HSS‑Co PM HARDLUBE is a universal machine tap designed to cut metric M5 × 0.8 threads to DIN 13 in blind holes across common engineering alloys.

• HSS‑Co PM for increased wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating for lower friction and longer life
• Right‑hand 40° spiral for improved chip control
• DIN 371C form for blind metric threads

Longer tool life and predictable productivity

Manufactured from HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgy high‑speed steel with cobalt) and finished with a HARDLUBE surface treatment, this machine tap is engineered to resist wear and reduce heat build‑up. The combination of substrate and coating lowers friction during cutting, which translates into fewer tap replacements and reduced machine downtime. For production environments where repeatability matters, the robust material and coating deliver consistent performance and predictable tool life, supporting efficient batch processing.

Clean chip evacuation for safe blind‑hole threading

The 40° right‑hand spiral and DIN 371C geometry are optimised for blind holes, guiding chips back out of the cut to prevent jamming and thread damage. The tap’s optimised edge rounding and cutting geometry ensure a smooth entry and uniform thread form, reducing the risk of breakage in interrupted or difficult cuts. As a result, thread quality remains high across a range of bore depths, and the need for secondary rework is reduced — a direct efficiency gain on the shop floor.

Versatile across typical engineering materials

Designed as a universal tap, it is suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, and castings, which simplifies tooling inventories. The metric ISO thread form conforms to DIN 13 sheet 1 with tolerance 6HX, ensuring compatibility with standard fasteners and assemblies. By covering a broad material range, the tool supports mixed‑material production runs without frequent tool changes, saving both handling time and procurement complexity.

Ready for machine tapping and straightforward integration

The tap conforms to DIN 371 overall length and features a 6 mm shank diameter, making it compatible with common collets and holders used in CNC and automated tapping heads. The right‑hand cutting direction and universal form provide a straightforward integration into existing tool lists. For manufacturers seeking cost‑effective, reliable threading solutions, this component reduces the number of specialised taps required and supports smooth process planning in medium‑ to high‑volume operations.

FAQ

What thread quality can be expected with this tap?
The tap produces metric ISO threads to DIN 13 sheet 1 with tolerance 6HX, delivering a standardised fit suitable for most engineering assemblies when used with correct spindle speed and lubrication.

Is this tap suitable for blind holes only?
The DIN 371C version is optimised for blind hole threading; the 40° spiral and geometry favour chip evacuation from closed bores, though it will also perform in partially through holes where chip control is required.

Which materials can be machined with this tool?
The tool is specified for a universal range: steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, and castings, benefitting from the HSS‑Co PM substrate and HARDLUBE coating for broad applicability.

How does the HARDLUBE coating benefit production use?
The HARDLUBE coating reduces friction at the cutting edge, lowering heat generation and extending tool life, which supports longer uninterrupted production runs and fewer tool changes.

What machine setup is recommended for reliable results?
Use appropriate tapping speeds and rigid clamping with the 6 mm shank, ensure correct lubrication for the material, and align feeds to suit the M5 × 0.8 thread profile; the universal geometry helps in mixed‑material operations.
