How a spiral flute tap evacuates chips from a blind hole
The 40° flute works like a screw conveyor
The flutes of this tap follow a right-hand helix at an angle of 40° to the axis. The tap rotates clockwise and advances into the hole. Chips cut by the chamfer enter the flute, and the helix carries them upward like the auger in a meat grinder. The bottom of the hole stays clear, and the cutting edges do not encounter packed chips. The M12x1.5 tap has a reduced shank to DIN 374: diameter 9 mm, square drive 7 mm.
1
The 40° spiral flute carries chips upward from the chamfer.
2
The stepped chip exits the hole and breaks into short pieces.
3
The tap rotates clockwise to cut a right-hand thread.
4
Chamfer C: 2–3 incomplete threads on the tapered lead.
5
Clearance below the tap tip – min. 2 thread pitches above the bottom.
6
Feed 1.5 mm/rev, equal to the pitch of the M12x1.5 thread.
M12x1.5 spiral flute machine tap – with a 40° spiral flute
The M12x1.5 spiral flute machine tap with a pitch of 1.5 mm is designed for precise tapping of blind holes in industrial hydraulics. Its HSSE steel construction with 5% added cobalt ensures a hardness of 65-67 HRC and long cutting edge life even when machining stainless steels. The 40° spiral flute design provides aggressive rearward chip evacuation, which is essential for blind hole tapping. The 6H tolerance in accordance with DIN 374 ensures the dimensional repeatability required in industrial production.
Technical specifications of the M12x1.5 spiral flute machine tap
- Material versatility covering structural steels up to 900 MPa, alloy steels, austenitic stainless steels 304/316, aluminum, and copper alloys
- Durability of HSSE steel with 5% cobalt allows operation at temperatures up to 650°C in the cutting zone without loss of mechanical properties
- Compatibility with ER25 and ER32 tool holders and collets for precise clamping on machining centers with axial compensation
- Precision to tolerance class 6H for tight fit tolerances in series production of hydraulic and pneumatic components with demanding requirements
- Conforms to DIN 374 ensures standardized dimensions for metric fine threads and full interchangeability with tools from European manufacturers
- 40° flute geometry with form C chamfer allows tapping close to the bottom of a blind hole with a minimal incomplete thread length of 2-3 pitches
The M12x1.5 spiral flute tap is used in toolrooms and prototype shops for CNC machining of hydraulic components. Cooling with an oil emulsion at a minimum concentration of 8% or with tapping oil extends tool life by a factor of 2-3. The tap drill diameter for an M12x1.5 thread is 10.5 mm in accordance with metric fine thread tables.

Frequently asked questions
The M12x1.5 HSSE machine tap for metric fine threads performs well in structural steels with a tensile strength up to 900 MPa, 304/316 austenitic stainless steels, aluminum, and brass. The 1.5 mm pitch is used in industrial hydraulics and pressure valves and fittings.
For the M12x1.5 metric fine thread in tolerance class 6H, the tap drill diameter should be 10.5 mm. The permissible hole tolerance range is 10.5-10.7 mm. A smaller hole increases cutting torque and the risk of tool breakage.
Yes, cooling with an oil emulsion at a minimum concentration of 8% or with tapping oil is recommended and extends tool life by a factor of 2-3. Intensive cooling is required when machining stainless steels, while aluminum can be tapped with minimal lubrication.
