This material choice extends tool life when machining materials up to 1000 N/mm² tensile strength and when tackling tougher alloys, reducing downtime for tool changes. The result is improved productivity and lower unit tool cost over the life of the cutter. Designed for efficient blind‑hole chip control The 35° right‑hand spiral and Form C geometry direct chips away from the cutting zone when forming blind‑hole threads, while the relieved flanks reduce chip packing and minimise risk of tool breakage. For machine tapping operations this configuration means fewer interferences during retract cycles and a lower incidence of damaged threads, enabling faster cycle times and higher process reliability on CNC and tapping heads. Stable clamping and machine compatibility With a 12 mm shank and right‑hand cutting direction, the tap is optimised for standard tapping holders and automatic tool changers. The compact shank diameter and standardised thread form facilitate secure clamping and concentricity, which supports consistent thread geometry across batches. Compatibility with common machine setups reduces setup time and eases integration into existing production workflows.
