How the type B through-hole chamfer pushes chips down the hole

Chips exit at the bottom instead of returning through the thread

The form B through-hole chamfer has a chip breaker at the front of the tap – an angled cut in the cutting edges. The chip breaker directs chips down the hole, ahead of the tap tip. The chip curls into a coil, breaks into short pieces, and exits the hole on the other side of the workpiece. Threads already cut remain clean because chips do not pass through them on their way up. The M2 x0.4 tap has a reinforced shank in accordance with DIN 371: diameter 2.8 mm, square 2.1 mm.

M2 machine tap for through holes – cobalt HSSE for stainless steel

The M2 machine tap for through holes from the HSSE series is designed for cutting internal threads with the smallest standard metric diameter of 2 mm in stainless steels and difficult-to-machine materials. The high-speed steel construction with 5% cobalt provides a hardness of 65-67 HRC and high heat resistance in the cutting zone up to 650°C, essential when machining austenitic steels. Size M2 is the smallest standard metric thread, requiring particular care when tapping difficult-to-machine materials due to its small diameter. The tool is intended for professional toolrooms and precision component manufacturers.

Technical specifications of the M2 HSSE machine tap

  • Smallest metric thread M2 with a diameter of 2 mm requires particular care when tapping due to the low core strength and susceptibility to breakage under excessive torque
  • HSSE steel with 5% cobalt guarantees a hardness of 65-67 HRC and heat resistance up to 650°C, essential for tapping stainless steels and difficult-to-machine materials
  • Designed for stainless steels austenitic 304/316 and ferritic, where standard HSS steel does not provide sufficient heat resistance and tool life
  • The 6H tolerance in accordance with DIN 371 ensures thread accuracy and full interchangeability with fasteners used in electronics and precision engineering
  • Short shank according to DIN 371, compatible with ER11 collet chucks and small collets for precise clamping on CNC machining centers
  • Metric pitch of 0.4 mm in accordance with DIN 13 for M2 coarse threads, with a recommended tap drill diameter of 1.6 mm requiring precise drilling

The M2 HSSE machine tap is used in the production of medical implants, watch components, laboratory equipment, and wherever the smallest threads in stainless steel are required. Tapping M2 requires low cutting speeds of Vc 3-6 m/min and generous cooling with an emulsion containing EP additives at a concentration of at least 10% to protect the tool.

Frequently asked questions

The M2 HSSE tap is designed for austenitic stainless steels 304/316, ferritic steels, titanium alloys, and other difficult-to-machine materials requiring heat resistance.

The recommended tap drill diameter for the M2 thread is 1.6 mm. Precise drilling is critical due to the small thread diameter.

For the M2 HSSE tap in stainless steel, a cutting speed of Vc 3-6 m/min and generous cooling with an emulsion containing EP additives at a concentration of at least 10% are recommended.
