EXACT Single‑cut Tap HSSG M4 x 12 mm with 1/4″ Hex Shank — 4–5‑thread taper, self‑centring

The EXACT single‑cut HSSG tap M4 x 12 mm is a compact, production‑oriented cutting tool designed for reliable internal thread formation in workshops and machining cells.

• Ground HSSG cutting material
• 4–5‑thread taper for smooth entry
• 6.3 mm (1/4″) hex shank to DIN 3126
• Self‑centring for consistent starts

Consistent threading from ground HSSG for industrial use

The core design focuses on efficient, repeatable results: the HSSG cutting material combines toughness and edge retention for a broad range of workpiece steels and common workshop alloys. The 4–5‑thread taper (short chamfer) ensures controlled entry into pre‑drilled holes, reducing the risk of cross‑threading and minimising required alignment work. For production environments where cycle time and first‑pass quality matter, this tap reduces rework and supports steady throughput by providing a clean, accurate M4 x 12 mm thread with every pass.

Fast tool change and reliable centring to speed up processes

The hex drive is sized at 6.3 mm (1/4″) and conforms to DIN 3126, enabling secure clamping in standard quick‑change tool holders and screwdrivers. The compact overall length of 35 mm and the short chamfer make the tool suitable for confined setups and multi‑spindle applications. Thanks to the self‑centring geometry, starts are more reliable on interrupted surfaces and blind holes, cutting down on alignment time and improving operator confidence in repetitive tasks.

Practical compatibility and workshop benefits explained

Interpreting the technical details for everyday use: the ground high‑speed steel body delivers a sharp cutting edge that tolerates standard workshop feeds and coolant regimes; the short chamfer (4–5‑thread) is a compromise between aggressive cutting and controlled engagement, ideal for through holes and shallow blind holes up to the specified thread depth. The hex shank format means the tool is immediately compatible with common manual and powered drivers, reducing the need for specialised adaptors and keeping changeover straightforward in mixed‑tool environments.

FAQ

What materials is this tap suitable for?
The tap uses HSSG cutting material and is suitable for common workshop steels and general engineering alloys; performance will depend on the specific workpiece material and cutting parameters.

How does the 4–5‑thread taper affect entry and thread quality?
The short taper provides controlled engagement, allowing the tap to enter more smoothly while maintaining dimensional accuracy for the M4 x 12 mm thread.

Is the 1/4″ hex shank compatible with quick‑change holders?
Yes, the 6.3 mm (1/4″) hex shank conforms to DIN 3126 and is compatible with standard quick‑change tool holders and hex collets.

Can this tool be used for blind holes?
The compact overall length and short chamfer make the tap suitable for shallow blind holes up to the specified thread depth, with careful control of thread‑bottom clearance.

What is the overall length and how does it affect accessibility?
The overall length is 35 mm, making the tool well suited to tight working spaces and applications with limited tool reach.
