M18 DIN 376 špirálový závitník HSSE kobalt 6H strojný závitník pre priechodný otvor

Threading through holes in tough materials demands a tap that resists wear and evacuates chips forward. This M18 spiral point tap cuts clean metric coarse threads with a 2.5 mm pitch, pushing chips ahead of the tool so they exit the hole without clogging the flutes. The cobalt-enriched HSSE steel withstands high heat and abrasion, making it a reliable choice for production runs in steel, alloy steels, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Who is it for

Machinists, maintenance crews, and fabricators who need consistent 6H tolerance threads in through holes. Ideal for CNC tapping centers, drill presses, or manual tapping in general engineering and repair work.

Main features

• Spiral point (C chamfer) geometry drives chips forward for through-hole tapping.
• HSSE cobalt steel delivers high hot hardness and edge retention.
• Metric coarse M18 x 2.5 mm thread to DIN 376 and tolerance class 6H.
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard machine or hand tapping.
• Uncoated bright finish for general-purpose use on a wide range of materials.

Tips

Use a suitable tapping lubricant to prolong tool life and improve thread finish. Ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece to avoid breakage. For optimal performance, select the correct drill size for the pre-tapped hole based on the thread pitch.
