How a spiral flute tap evacuates chips from a blind hole
The 35° flute works like a screw conveyor
The flutes of this tap follow a right-hand helix at an angle of 35° 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 M16x1 tap has a reduced shank to DIN 374: diameter 12 mm, square drive 9 mm.
M16x1 spiral flute machine tap – metric fine thread for industrial hydraulics
The fine-thread tap series designed for industrial hydraulics includes the M16x1 spiral flute machine tap with a pitch of 1 mm. The 6H tolerance in accordance with DIN 374 guarantees leak-tight threaded connections in pressure systems up to 400 bar. Made from HSSE steel with 5% cobalt, it provides a hardness of 65-67 HRC and heat resistance up to 650°C in the cutting zone. The 35° spiral flute directs chips backward when tapping blind holes in valve blocks and hydraulic housings.
Why choose the M16x1 spiral flute machine tap
- Compliance with DIN 374 for metric fine threads ensures standardized dimensions and full interchangeability with tools from European manufacturers
- Designed for industrial hydraulics includes valve blocks, cylinder bodies, directional control valves, and pressure system components rated up to 400 bar
- Tolerance class 6H precision guarantees leak-tight threaded connections without the need for additional seals in hydraulic applications
- Durability of HSSE steel with 5% cobalt allows operation at temperatures up to 650°C without loss of the cutting edge's mechanical properties
- Form C chamfer for blind holes allows tapping close to the bottom of the hole with a minimal incomplete thread length of 2-3 pitches
- Compatibility with ER32 holders and tapping chucks with axial compensation for CNC machining centers and automatic lathes
The M16x1 spiral flute tap is used in the manufacture of valve blocks and industrial valves and fittings requiring leak-tight threaded connections. The fine pitch of 1 mm provides a larger contact area than the standard M16x2 thread. The tap drill diameter for the M16x1 thread is 15 mm according to metric fine thread tables.

Frequently asked questions
The M16x1 fine-thread HSSE machine tap performs well in structural steels up to 900 MPa, 304/316 austenitic stainless steels, aluminum, and brass. The fine pitch of 1 mm ensures leak-tight connections in hydraulic applications up to 400 bar.
For the M16x1 metric fine thread in tolerance class 6H, the tap drill diameter should be 15 mm. The permissible hole tolerance range is 15.0-15.2 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.
