Hand Tap set of 2 pieces DIN 2181 HSS-G - M 10 x 0.5

• For general use in workshop and assembly
• For materials up to 900 N/mm²
• Suitable for unalloyed and low-alloy steels
• For through and blind holes
• Optimized for manual thread cutting
• HSS-G ground – precise cutting geometry and extended service life
• Fine thread (MF) – ensures tight, vibration-resistant connections

1. Drill the core hole: Drill according to the M10 × 0.5 core diameter chart, deburr and clean.
2. Fix the workpiece: Clamp securely to avoid misalignment.
3. Apply cutting fluid: Apply cutting oil or paste to reduce friction.
4. Use taper tap first: Rotate clockwise evenly to start cutting the thread.
5. Use plug tap second: Finish the thread accurately without excessive pressure.
6. Clean and inspect: Remove chips, clean the thread, and check with a screw or gauge.

• Metric fine (MF): Fine pitch threads providing precision and strong joints.
• DIN 13: Defines ISO metric thread profiles for coarse and fine pitches.
• DIN 2181: Specifies the design and dimensions of hand taps for fine threads.
• HSS-G: Ground high-speed steel for high accuracy and smooth thread quality.
• ISO 2 / 6H: Standard internal thread tolerance for accurate fits and smooth operation.

Can I use this set on a machine?
No, it is designed for manual use. For machine tapping, use taps according to DIN 371/376.

What’s the difference between MF and M threads?
MF (fine) threads have a smaller pitch for tighter and more precise fits than standard M threads.

Which order should I use the taps in?
Start with the taper tap, then use the plug tap to complete the thread accurately.

Why choose HSS-G?
Ground cutting edges ensure smooth thread surfaces, long service life, and accurate tolerances.

Is the set sold individually?
Yes, size M10 × 0.5, article no. 26331.
