Hand tap set HexTap G1/8–1 in HSSG ISO2 (6H) by VÖLKEL

The Hand tap set HexTap G1/8–1 in HSSG ISO2 (6H) offers a compact solution for cutting both metric ISO and Whitworth pipe threads in through and blind holes.

• HSSG high-speed steel for durable cutting
• Double-ended taps with plug and bottoming cutter
• ISO2 (6H) metric and G Whitworth pipe threads
• Suitable for through and blind holes

Precision threads with industrial consistency

The set is built around HSSG cutting material, offering a reliable balance between toughness and edge retention for serial and occasional thread cutting. The double-ended design with both a plug cutter and a bottoming cutter ensures that threads are formed cleanly from start to finish, reducing the need for rework. With the tolerance class ISO2 (6H) and compliance to recognised standards, this toolset supports reproducible results on parts where fit and interchangeability are critical.

Fast setup and efficient machining for workshops

Designed for manual operation, the hand taps provide efficient material removal without complex tooling changes, which shortens cycle times and simplifies workshop workflows. The combination of a lead-in flute and finishing geometry means fewer passes are required to achieve full form, so throughput is increased while maintaining thread profile integrity. The construction is especially well suited to operations where quick, dependable threading is needed without investing in dedicated tapping machines.

Broad material compatibility minimises tool inventory

This tapping range is suitable for many commonly machined steels and low-alloy materials up to approximately 900 N/mm² tensile strength, which covers most unalloyed and low-alloy steels encountered in general engineering. The set also supports Whitworth pipe thread forms (G) as well as metric ISO threads, making it a versatile choice for workshops that handle mixed specifications. Specifying one compact set reduces the number of separate tools required, simplifying stock management.

Practical handling and maintenance for long service life

The tool geometry and material choice provide a favourable balance between wear resistance and toughness, which helps extend service intervals. Correct use in adequately prepared holes—proper pilot dimensions and lubrication—ensures the taps reach their expected lifetime and deliver consistent thread quality. The double-ended format reduces handling time and keeps the necessary cutters close at hand, supporting a smooth workflow on the shop floor.

FAQ

Which thread standards are covered by this set?
The HexTap hand tap set covers metric ISO threads to DIN 13 with tolerance ISO2 (6H) and Whitworth pipe threads (G) to DIN ISO 228, allowing use across common industrial specifications.

Is the set suitable for blind holes as well as through holes?
Yes, the set is designed for both through and blind holes; the inclusion of a bottoming cutter allows complete thread formation at the base of blind holes.

What materials can be machined with these taps?
The taps are intended for unalloyed and low-alloy steels and other readily machinable materials up to about 900 N/mm² tensile strength; the HSSG cutting material offers good durability across these workpieces.

How does the double-ended design benefit workshop efficiency?
Having both a plug and a bottoming cutter in a compact format reduces tool changes and handling time, which streamlines tapping operations and lowers the chance of selection errors during production.

Can this set be used for pipe fittings and mechanical components?
Yes, the combination of G (Whitworth) pipe threads and metric ISO threads in the set makes it suitable for both pipework applications and mechanical threaded parts where those standards are required.
