TwinBox HexDrive Machine Tap + Twist Drill, DIN 371, Type B, HSS-E, M10 x 1.5

• Producing internal threads in workshop, maintenance and production environments
• Selecting the tap by thread system, hole condition and workpiece material before starting the operation
• Using a matching holder or machine drive so the tap enters square and remains aligned in the hole
• Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
• Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition

Note VÖLKEL uses and recommends spiral drills from LÖHER. LÖHER product catalog as PDF

• Thread related geometry and designation are clearly assigned in the product name for practical selection
• Suitable for workshop, maintenance and machine room workflows with repeatable tool use
• The explicit standard and material markings support controlled tool assignment in professional use
• A dedicated threading tool reduces compromise compared with improvised general purpose tooling

• Tool selection still depends on matching the thread system, material and process type to the actual job.
• It is intended for defined threading work and not for undirected high speed use without the correct setup and lubrication strategy.

1. Prepare the workpiece and the hole so the tool can enter cleanly and on axis.
2. Clamp the tap in a suitable holder or machine drive with secure torque transmission.
3. Bring the tap to the hole entry and start the thread with controlled alignment.
4. Advance the tool with stable lubrication and feed that matches your process setup.
5. Reverse and remove the tap carefully once the required thread depth is reached.
6. Clean the hole and inspect the produced thread before final assembly.
