M8x1.25mm Machine Tap DIN 371C HSS-Co PM Hardlube 2xD Right-Hand 6HX, Blind Hole - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of durable HSS‑Co PM construction, a HARDLUBE friction‑reducing coating and a 40° spiral geometry to achieve consistent, long‑lasting M8×1.25 threads in blind holes; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their technical team for production advice.

Machine thread tap DIN 371C M8×1.25 (HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE) – TECWERK, 2×D, Form C

The machine thread tap DIN 371C M8×1.25 is a universal production tap designed for metric ISO threads, optimised for blind‑hole applications and a wide range of engineering materials.

• Powder‑metallurgy HSS‑Co for extended life
• HARDLUBE coating reduces friction
• Right‑hand 40° spiral for blind holes
• Complies with DIN 371 and DIN 13
• 8 mm shank diameter for machine mounting

Longer tool life and consistently accurate threads

The use of HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgy cobalt high‑speed steel) combined with a HARDLUBE coating delivers enhanced wear resistance and lower surface friction. This composition reduces flank wear and helps maintain thread profile integrity over longer production runs, which translates into fewer tool changes and more predictable process windows for small‑batch and continuous manufacture alike. The result is stable thread quality and reduced scrap rates.

Improved chip control and reliable blind‑hole performance

A 40° right‑hand spiral and optimised cutting geometry facilitate chip evacuation away from the cutting edges—particularly important for blind‑hole tapping. The rounded cutting edges and adjusted flute geometry help prevent chip packing and minimise the risk of tap breakage, offering safer, more efficient machining when access is limited. This design detail supports faster cycle times without compromising thread finish.

Built for standards and simple integration into production

Built to DIN 371 dimensions with an M8×1.25 pitch and 6HX tolerance field to DIN 13 part 1, the tap integrates smoothly into established manufacturing processes and inspection routines. The 8 mm shank ensures compatibility with common machine tool holders and tapping adapters; consistent geometry and standard compliance simplify setup and quality control across different machines and operators.

Versatile across common engineering materials

The tooling is specified for universal use in steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys as well as cast iron, making it suitable for mixed‑material workshops and subcontract manufacturers. Its universal form (Form C, Type Universal) provides a balance between robustness and cutting performance, reducing the need for multiple specialised taps and enabling a more streamlined tooling inventory for general engineering tasks.
