Maschinengewindebohrer DIN 376C Univ. M20 x 2.5 mm – Machine thread tap, HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE (TECWERK)

Maschinengewindebohrer DIN 376C Univ. M20 x 2.5 mm is a universal machine tap designed for producing metric ISO threads in blind holes across a broad range of engineering materials

• Machine thread tap M20 x 2.5, universal design
• HSS‑Co PM for high wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating for reduced friction
• Suitable for blind holes and multiple materials

Consistent thread quality and process efficiency

The tap combines HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgy cobalt high‑speed steel) with an optimised cutting geometry to deliver reliable thread formation under industrial conditions. The M20 x 2.5 metric specification and compliance with DIN 376 ensure compatibility with standard tapping cycles, while the tolerance 6HX provides the required allowance for assembly. Because the tool is produced to the DIN length and features a 2×D flute length, chip control and evacuation are tuned for blind‑hole tapping, reducing the risk of chip build‑up and rework. These technical choices translate into fewer rejects and a steadier production flow.

Longer tool life and smoother machining

A HARDLUBE surface finish reduces adhesion and wear, lowering cutting forces and heat generation during threading. The use of HSS‑Co PM increases red‑hardness and abrasion resistance compared with conventional HSS, which benefits longer runs and intermittent stainless‑steel operations. The tap’s optimised edge rounding and cutting geometry improve entry behaviour and reduce vibration, resulting in cleaner threads and extended service intervals. Where process reliability matters, these attributes lower overall machining costs by extending tool life and stabilising cycle times.

Versatile application range and handling notes

Designed as a universal solution, the tool is suitable for machining in steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys as well as cast materials. The tap has a shaft Ø 16 mm and a right‑hand spiral 40°, making it compatible with standard machine holders and automatic tapping heads. For blind holes, the spiral geometry aids chip transport back toward the flutes, which is particularly helpful in less accessible bores. When selecting cutting parameters, follow material‑specific speed and feed recommendations for HSS‑Co PM tools and consider modest pecking cycles in deep or difficult holes to preserve the cutting edge.

Practical advantages for workshop and production environments

The compact design to DIN 376 and the universal form make this tap a convenient choice for mixed production and maintenance inventories. Its features reduce the likelihood of thread failure in assembly and lower scrap rates, improving overall operational efficiency. Where workshops consolidate tooling, a single, versatile tap that performs across several materials reduces inventory complexity and simplifies order handling. The result is a straightforward improvement in availability and uptime for daily production tasks.
