How a spiral flute tap evacuates chips from a blind hole

The 35° flute works like a screw conveyor

The flutes of this tap spiral to the right 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 clean, and the cutting edges do not encounter packed chips. The M2 x0.4 tap has a reinforced shank to DIN 371: diameter 2.8 mm, square 2.1 mm.

M2 spiral flute machine tap – for precision blind holes

The M2 spiral flute machine tap is designed for precision tapping of miniature blind holes in electronics and precision engineering. Made from HSSE steel with 5% cobalt, it guarantees a hardness of 65-67 HRC and long cutting edge life even when machining difficult materials. The 35° spiral flute design directs chips backward, which is essential for blind-hole tapping. The short shank according to DIN 371 is suitable for miniature machine tool holders. The 6H tolerance guarantees the dimensional repeatability required in precision manufacturing.

Technical data for the M2 spiral flute machine tap

  • Material versatility covering structural steels with strengths up to 900 MPa, austenitic stainless steels, aluminum, and copper and brass 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 ER8 and ER11 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 electronic and precision engineering components
  • Conforms to DIN 371 ensures standardized short shank dimensions and full interchangeability with tools from European manufacturers
  • 35° 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 M2 spiral flute tap is used in electronics and precision engineering to manufacture miniature components. The standard pitch of the M2 thread is 0.4 mm, with a tap drill diameter of 1.6 mm. The tool requires careful handling due to its small diameter and the risk of breakage under excessive load.

Frequently asked questions

The M2 HSSE spiral flute machine tap is suitable for structural steels up to 900 MPa, stainless steels, aluminum, and brass. The M2 size is used in electronics, precision engineering, and industrial watchmaking.

For an M2x0.4 thread in tolerance class 6H, the tap drill diameter should be 1.6 mm. The permissible hole diameter range is 1.6-1.7 mm. A smaller hole increases cutting torque and the risk of tool breakage.

Yes, cooling with tapping oil or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is recommended due to the small diameter and risk of breakage. The tool requires careful handling and low cutting speeds.
