M10 x 1.5 Metric Fine Thread Machine Tap DIN 376 C 6H HSSE-PM Spiral Flute 40° for Stainless Steel

Threading stainless steel by hand or on a machine often leads to broken taps, poor thread finish, and slow progress. This tap solves that with a powder-metallurgy HSSE-PM steel body enriched with cobalt, built to withstand the toughness of INOX alloys while maintaining a sharp cutting edge.

Who is it for

Machinists, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians who need reliable internal threading in stainless steel components, especially in through-hole applications where chip evacuation is critical.

Main features

• M10 x 1.5 metric fine thread with 6H tolerance class for standard fit.
• DIN 376 form C with 2-3 thread chamfer for gradual cutting entry.
• Spiral flute with 40° helix angle pulls chips backward, ideal for through holes.
• HSSE-PM powder metallurgy high-speed steel with cobalt for high wear resistance and toughness.
• Reinforced shank for stable clamping and reduced deflection.
• Bright, uncoated surface for consistent performance on stainless steel.

Tips

Use a suitable tapping fluid designed for stainless steel to reduce friction and heat. Ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece to avoid premature wear or breakage.
