RUKO MGB-DIN376-HSSCo-vap.-M4x0,70mm Machine Tap

For machinists and metalworkers who need reliable thread cutting in through holes, this RUKO machine tap handles M4 coarse threads in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. The HSS-Co construction with vaporized surface treatment delivers wear resistance and improved chip flow, while the DIN 376 standard ensures compatibility with common tool holders.

Why choose it

The cobalt alloyed high-speed steel maintains hardness at elevated temperatures, extending tool life in demanding applications. The vaporized surface reduces friction and improves chip evacuation, resulting in cleaner threads and lower torque.

Ideal use cases

• Creating M4 threads in through holes on machining centers
• Production tapping in unalloyed and alloyed steels
• Threading cast iron components
• Working with non-ferrous metals like aluminum and brass

Good to know

This tap is designed for through holes; for blind holes, a different chamfer form is required. The ground profile ensures precise thread geometry and consistent performance.
