M10 x 1 Metric Fine Thread Machine Tap DIN 374 C HSSE TiN Coated

Cutting precise internal threads in tough materials like stainless steel or alloy steel can quickly dull standard taps, leading to rough threads, breakage, and wasted workpieces. This M10 x 1 metric fine thread tap solves that by combining cobalt-enriched HSSE steel with a hard titanium nitride coating, delivering the heat resistance and edge retention needed for reliable through-hole threading in demanding applications.

Who is it for

Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals who regularly tap through holes in high-strength steels, stainless steels, or other difficult-to-machine alloys. It is equally suited for job shops, production lines, and repair workshops where thread quality and tool life directly affect productivity.

Main features

• Metric fine thread M10 x 1 mm to DIN 374 standard for precise, repeatable threads
• Chamfer form C (2-3 threads) ideal for through holes, reducing torque and chip clogging
• HSSE (cobalt high-speed steel) substrate withstands high cutting temperatures
• TiN (titanium nitride) coating lowers friction, resists wear, and extends tool life
• Straight flutes with reinforced shank for stable chip evacuation and reduced deflection
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard clockwise tapping
• Thread tolerance 6H ensures a quality fit with standard metric fasteners

Tips

Use a suitable cutting fluid or tapping paste to further reduce friction and improve thread finish, especially in stainless steel. Ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece to avoid thread misalignment. For deeper holes, consider a spiral flute tap for better chip evacuation.
