Roughing tap and finishing tap – how much material each removes

Division of work in the 1–2 set

The M50x1.5 thread is cut into the wall of a hole with a diameter of 48.5 mm. The thread groove extends 0.75 mm into the wall. A single tap would have to cut the entire groove at once, requiring substantial hand torque and risking 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.

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.

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 50 mm minus pitch 1.5 mm gives 48.5 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 125 mm, or 2.5 times the thread diameter (2.5 x 50 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

Back out the roughing tap and remove chips from the hole. Screw the finishing tap into the cut threads by hand – it should engage them on its own. Continue turning at the same rhythm as with the roughing tap. The finishing tap removes the remaining material and cuts the groove to the full profile within tolerance 6H. When it screws in smoothly all the way, the thread is complete – check it with an M50x1.5 screw.

Hand tap M50x1.5 - Fine thread

M50X1.5 Hand Tap DIN 2181/2 6H HSS is designed for cutting M50 fine threads with a pitch of one and a half millimeters in steels with tensile strengths up to eight hundred megapascals. The two-tap sequence distributes cutting loads, helping maintain a class six H fit and ensuring a uniform profile along the entire hole length.

Nominal diameter fifty millimeters; pitch one and a half millimeters; sixty° profile according to ISO 68-1; tolerance 6H according to ISO 965; right-hand thread; straight flutes for predictable chip guidance. Material: ground high-speed steel (HSS), ensuring edge stability and a reduced risk of microchipping. The DIN 2181/2 system uses a roughing tap (I) and a finishing tap (II); in workflow organization, this role is fulfilled by M50x1.5 Hand Tap Set, facilitating clear selection and pass sequencing. Recommended tap drill: forty-eight and a half millimeters; cooling with emulsion or active cutting oil is recommended for optimal results.

  • Process stability — sequential use of two taps reduces torque fluctuations and protects against jamming.
  • Edge protection — precision-ground HSS extends tool life and supports consistent surface quality.
  • Tolerance class 6H — maintaining the pitch diameter within ISO 965 limits facilitates successful gauge inspection.
  • Clear workflow — M50x1.5 Hand Tap Set streamlines switching between taps and standardizes dimensional inspection.

Reference standards: DIN 2181/2 (design), ISO 68-1 (profile geometry), ISO 965 (tolerances). Compliance ensures that the M50x1.5 tapping process delivers repeatability and compatibility with measuring instruments in both one-off and short-run production.

Frequently asked questions

The set consists of two taps — a roughing tap and a finishing tap, which guarantee a fully formed thread when used in sequence.

Drill to 48.5 mm (diameter 50 mm minus pitch 1.5 mm) to achieve the correct thread engagement in class 6H.

High-speed steel (HSS) provides high durability, abrasion resistance, and stable operation even under demanding conditions.
