This listing offers Metric Spiral Flute Taps made from HSS-Co (Cobalt High Speed Steel), each paired with the correct HSS drill bit.
HSS-Co taps deliver higher heat resistance, better durability and improved performance on stainless steel, alloy steel and other tough materials.
Spiral Flute (SFT) taps pull chips upward, making them ideal for blind holes and preventing chip packing during deeper threading.
// Important Usage Note //
Spiral Flute Taps (especially HSS-Co types) generate higher cutting forces and must be used with a **machine setup** such as a drill press, tapping machine, mill or rigid CNC. Hand tapping is possible but **NOT recommended**, as misalignment or uneven force can easily cause tap breakage.
// Key Features //
Machine-Optimised Tapping Designed for use with a drill press, tapping arm or rigid machine setup.
Premium HSS-Co Tap Excellent durability, heat resistance and cutting ability on stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel and non-ferrous metals.
HSS Drill Bit Included Accurately sized for ideal pilot hole preparation.
Rated for Materials ≤ 750 N/mm² Effective on medium-strength steels, brass, aluminium and more.
6H Tolerance – Metric Standard Produces precise, clean and consistent threads.
