Roughing tap and finishing tap – how much material each removes
Division of work in the 1–2 set
The M10 x1.5 thread is cut into the wall of a hole with a diameter of 8.5 mm. The thread groove extends 0.75 mm into the wall. A single tap would have to cut the entire groove at once – by hand, this creates high resistance and a risk of breakage. The set divides this work into two passes.
The drawing shows the entire set in operation. Both taps have the same shank and the same length. They differ in their chamfer, the tapered tip: No. 1 has a chamfer spanning 8 threads, while No. 2 spans only 2 threads. The detail windows at the hole wall show how the thread groove deepens after each tap.
| Tap | Chamfer | Chamfer angle | Material removed | How it works in the hole |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. 1 – roughing tap | long, 8 threads | 5° | the main portion of the groove | enters smoothly and establishes thread alignment |
| No. 2 – finishing tap | short, 2 threads | 20° | the remainder, to the full profile | follows the cut threads and produces the full 6H profile |
How to distinguish the taps in the set
The chamfer on No. 1 is 4 times as long as the chamfer on No. 2 — the difference is immediately visible when you place them side by side. No. 1 has an incomplete thread profile; only No. 2 has the full profile. The number is also indicated on the shank: No. 1 has one ring, No. 2 has none. Keep the set together and always start with the roughing tap.
How to tap an M10 hole – sequence 1, 2
Hand tapping step by step
Thread M10 x1.5 in four steps
Drill bit 8.5 mm
Chamfer 8 threads
Chamfer 2 threads
Tolerance 6H
Turning sequence: half a turn clockwise, a quarter turn counterclockwise | Between taps: remove chips from the hole
Start with the hole. The drill diameter is easy to calculate: thread diameter 10 mm minus pitch 1.5 mm gives 8.5 mm. An undersized hole is a common cause of a tap twisting off in the workpiece.
Through hole or blind hole – how deep to drill
The set taps both types of holes. In a through hole, the thread extends through the full material thickness. In a blind hole, cut the thread to 25 mm, or 2.5 times the thread diameter (2.5 x 10 mm, shown as 2.5D in the drawing). Drill the hole deeper than the thread. The finishing tap has a chamfer spanning 2 threads, so approx. 2 incomplete threads remain near the bottom. The extra depth below the thread accommodates them along with the chips.
No. 1 – the roughing tap establishes thread alignment
Fit the roughing tap in the tap wrench and position it perpendicular to the surface. Check the angle from two sides, for example with a square. Turn half a turn clockwise, then a quarter turn counterclockwise. Reversing breaks the chip into short pieces – a slight crunch is normal. The first threads determine whether the thread will be straight.
No. 2 – the finishing tap produces the full profile
Unscrew the roughing tap and remove the chips from the hole. Screw the finishing tap into the cut threads by hand – it should engage them naturally. Continue turning with the same rhythm used for the roughing tap. The finishing tap removes the remaining material and cuts the groove to the full profile in tolerance class 6H. When it screws in smoothly all the way, the thread is complete – check it with an M10 screw.
M10 HSS hand tap DIN 352 – 2-piece set for efficient tapping
The M10 hand tap set is a practical set of two tools for cutting internal threads with a diameter of 10 mm and a pitch of 1.5 mm. The two-piece version of the M10 HSS hand tap set conforming to DIN 352 includes a roughing tap and a finishing tap, enabling efficient tapping with fewer operations. M10 is one of the most widely used sizes in industry and skilled trades.
Key advantages of the M10 tap set
- 2-piece set (roughing and finishing taps) – the two-stage process reduces tapping time
- Versatile M10 size – one of the most frequently used threads in industry and construction
- HSS high-speed steel – machining of structural steels, aluminum, and cast iron up to 800 MPa
- Tolerance 6H according to DIN 352 – a standard fit with M10 screws of tolerance class 6g
- Optimal price-to-performance ratio – less expensive than a three-piece set while maintaining quality
The M10 hand tap set is suitable for machine shops, automotive service shops, and construction sites. Use a drill bit with a diameter of 8.5 mm to drill the tap hole for an M10 thread. The two-piece set is a practical solution for frequent tapping tasks in materials of standard hardness.
Tolerance 6H — metric thread tolerance classes
| Class | Accuracy | Application | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4H / 4g | High | Precision connections, hydraulics | — |
| 6H / 6g | Standard | Machine building, general-purpose | SELECTED |
| 7H / 8g | Low | Large clearance, easy assembly | — |
6H = internal thread (nut, hole) | 6g = external thread (screw)
Frequently asked questions
For holes deeper than 2 times the diameter (over 20 mm), a 3-piece set is better. It distributes the load over more stages.
A 8.5 mm drill bit is used for an M10 thread with a pitch of 1.5 mm. Formula: diameter minus pitch (10 - 1.5 = 8.5 mm).
The M10 tap requires a No. 2 or No. 3 tap wrench that accommodates a square of approximately 7 mm. Standard workshop tap wrenches are suitable.
