RUKO HGB-II DIN352 HSS 60° M4 x 0.70 mm Left-Hand Intermediate Tap

Manual threading of left-hand metric coarse threads in unalloyed and low-alloyed steels up to 800 N/mm² requires a tap that matches the exact thread standard and direction. The RUKO HGB-II DIN352 HSS 60° M4 x 0.70 mm Left-Hand Intermediate Tap provides a precise cut for M4 left-hand threads with a 0.70 mm pitch.

Who is it for

Machinists, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians who need to produce or repair left-hand threaded holes in steel workpieces. It is suited for manual threading operations where control and accuracy are essential.

Main features

• Left-hand thread direction for reverse-thread applications.
• Metric coarse thread M4 with 0.70 mm pitch to DIN 352.
• Intermediate tap (Mittelschneider) with lead taper of approximately 4-6 threads for progressive cutting.
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in steel up to 800 N/mm².
• 60° thread angle and ISO 2 (6H) tolerance class.
• Bright uncoated surface.
• 3 flutes for efficient chip evacuation.
