Machine tap DIN 371C universal M10×1.5 HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE, 2×D — TECWERK

The machine tap DIN 371C universal M10×1.5 HSS‑Co PM HARDLUBE is a 2×D machine tap designed for blind-hole threading and universal use in steels, stainless steels, aluminium and copper alloys.

• HSS‑Co PM for high wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating for reduced friction
• 2×D universal design for blind-hole threading

Reliable performance and efficient chip control

The combination of HSS‑Co PM (powder-metallurgy cobalt high‑speed steel) and a HARDLUBE surface treatment delivers a robust balance of toughness and surface hardness, which reduces wear under intermittent or high‑load conditions. The right‑hand spiral 40° promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation in blind holes, lowering the risk of chip jamming and tap breakage. Optimised edge rounding and cutting geometry ensure consistent thread profiles while supporting extended tool life and reduced downtime.

Wide material compatibility accelerates workflow

Engineered as a universal tool, the tap is suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, plus castings. The nominal thread is M10×1.5, made to the DIN 371 length class for machine taps, which simplifies inventory management by standardising fit and handling. The powder‑metallurgy base material offers the necessary toughness for alloyed steels while maintaining cutting performance in softer metals, making this tap a versatile choice for mixed production environments.

Consistent thread quality with defined tolerance

Produced to DIN 13 sheet 1 with tolerance 6HX, the thread form delivers predictable engagement characteristics and reduces rework from ill‑fitting mating parts. The 2×D specification indicates a thread depth appropriate for many blind‑hole applications without excessive engagement, while the shank diameter of 10 mm provides secure clamping in standard holders. These design choices combine to give stable, repeatable results that support higher first‑pass quality rates on the shopfloor.

Practical integration and handling benefits

The tool’s Form C universal type and standard shank make it straightforward to integrate into existing tapping setups; compatibility with common collets and chucks keeps changeover simple. The HARDLUBE coating reduces dependence on heavy lubricant use while still benefiting from cutting fluid where recommended for heat control. Supplied as single pieces per packaging unit, the tool supports controlled tool replacement strategies and helps maintain traceability across production batches.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this tap?
The tap is specified for universal use and is suitable for steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, as well as castings, enabling a single tool to cover multiple job types.

What does 2×D mean for drilling depth and application?
2×D denotes a thread depth roughly twice the nominal diameter; for an M10×1.5 thread this provides adequate engagement for many blind‑hole applications while reducing the risk of excessive chip accumulation.

Is the tool suitable for blind‑hole tapping?
Yes — the tool’s right‑hand spiral 40° and optimised geometry are designed to assist chip evacuation in blind holes and to reduce the chance of breakage.

How does the HARDLUBE coating help in production?
The HARDLUBE coating reduces friction at the cutting edge, improving surface finish and extending tool life; it also lessens lubricant consumption in many setups, though cutting fluid may still be beneficial for some materials.

What does tolerance 6HX mean for thread fit?
Tolerance 6HX (per DIN 13) defines the internal thread tolerance class that controls pitch and diameter limits, providing a standardised, predictable fit for mating external threads and helping to avoid rework.
