Usage
This high-speed steel tap is designed for creating precise M18 threads in metal components. Suitable for use in workshops, maintenance, and manufacturing environments requiring metric threading operations.
Advantages
- Manufactured from durable high-speed steel for long tool life
- Provides accurate and clean M18 thread cuts in metals
- Compatible with manual and machine tapping applications
- Resistant to wear under repeated use
- Straight flute design simplifies chip removal during threading
Specifications
- M18 tap size with standardized thread pitch for metric applications
- Main material: HSS (High-Speed Steel)
- Cuts right-handed threads as per DIN standards (if applicable)
- Total length varies by type; typically ranges from approximately 100–140 mm for M18 taps
- Straight flute geometry suitable for through-hole and blind-hole tapping in various steels and non-ferrous metals
How it works
The tap is inserted into a correctly sized pre-drilled hole and turned, manually or by machine, to cut internal M18 threads. Lubrication is recommended to optimize cutting performance and extend tool service life.
