Take advantage of the HSSE cutting material, the quick-change 6.3 mm hex shank and the ISO2 (6H) thread tolerance for consistent M10 thread quality in general-purpose steel applications; order the machine tap bit directly via Metav Werkzeuge or request technical advice from our consultants.

Machine tap bit HSSE M10 x 8.50 mm, pitch 1.50 mm — VÖLKEL with 6.3 mm HexDrive shank

The machine tap bit HSSE M10 x 8.50 mm, pitch 1.50 mm — VÖLKEL is a dedicated machine tap for producing metric M10 through-threads in unalloyed and low-alloy steels up to 900 N/mm², designed for use in power holders with a 6.3 mm (1/4") hex drive

• HexDrive 6.3 mm (1/4") hex shank
• HSSE cutting material for wear resistance
• Metric ISO M10 thread, tolerance ISO2 (6H)
• Peel-cut geometry for clean through-threads

Improved process reliability through durable HSSE construction

The HSSE composition ensures higher hot hardness and improved wear resistance compared with conventional high-speed steels; this means longer life and more consistent thread profiles in continuous production. The HSSE cutting material, combined with the Form B geometry, reduces edge wear under elevated temperatures, which supports predictable tool-change intervals and less frequent regrinding. For operations where throughput and repeatability matter, a tool with enhanced heat resistance translates directly into fewer interruptions and steadier output.

Faster changeovers and secure clamping for production environments

Equipped with a 6.3 mm (1/4") hex shank, the tap bit is compatible with standard HexDrive quick-change holders and power tool chucks, allowing rapid tool exchange and reduced set-up times. The hex shank improves torque transmission, minimising slippage in high-torque tapping cycles. The metric ISO thread specification and ISO2 (6H) tolerance ensure interchangeability with standard fasteners and gauges, supporting consistent assembly fitment across batches and simplifying quality control.

Cleaner chips and superior thread quality for through-holes

The integrated peel-cut geometry (Schälanschnitt) is engineered to produce predictable chip formation when machining through-threads, promoting efficient evacuation and lowering the risk of chip packing. This results in improved surface finish and thread form, particularly in unalloyed and low-alloy steels up to 900 N/mm². The compliance with WN (DIN 371) and the Form B design offers a balanced compromise between cutting strength and chip control, suitable for general-purpose workshop and industrial applications.

Standards, dimensions and recommended applications

The tap bit follows established industry standards and comes in a 100 mm overall length, making it suitable for a wide range of machine tapping setups. The M10 thread with a 1.50 mm pitch is a common metric size for mechanical assemblies; using a tool that adheres to recognised tolerances and forms reduces rework and supports consistent assembly quality. Typical users include maintenance departments, toolrooms and production lines requiring robust, repeatable M10 threads in readily machinable steels.
