M18x1.5 Metric Fine Machine Tap DIN 2181 6H HSS EL-CUT NGMM/2

For machinists who demand precise, clean threads in metric fine series, the NO NAME A.2010185 machine tap stands apart from general-purpose taps. Its EL-CUT geometry and DIN 2181 compliance are engineered for reliable performance in through holes and shallow blind holes, especially when working with general-purpose steels and non-ferrous metals. The M18x1.5 fine pitch, 6H tolerance class, and high-speed steel construction combine to deliver consistent thread quality across production runs.

Highlights

• Metric fine thread M18x1.5 with 6H tolerance class for accurate, gaugeable threads
• DIN 2181 standard design ensures compatibility with standard tap holders and collets
• High-speed steel (HSS) body offers a good balance of toughness and wear resistance
• EL-CUT series optimized for machine tapping in through holes and shallow blind holes
• Straight flutes with 4 flutes provide efficient chip evacuation in short-chipping materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional clockwise spindle rotation

In daily use

This tap is intended for use on CNC machining centers, tapping heads, or manual machines with rigid or tension/compression tapping cycles. The 110 mm overall length and 28 mm thread length provide ample reach for most workpieces, while the 14 mm shank diameter and 11 mm square drive ensure secure clamping. When tapping general-purpose steels or non-ferrous metals, the EL-CUT geometry reduces cutting forces and helps prevent built-up edge, resulting in smoother thread flanks and longer tool life. For best results, use a suitable cutting fluid and follow recommended speeds and feeds for HSS taps in the specific material.
