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 chamfer for through holes has a chip breaker at the tip of the tap – an angled cut in the cutting edges. The chip breaker directs the chip 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. The threads already cut remain clean because the chip does not pass through them on its way up. The M20x1.5 tap has a reduced shank according to DIN 374: diameter 16 mm, square size 12 mm.
M20x1.5 machine tap for metric fine threads – HSSE for leak-tight connections
The HSSE tap series, designed for professional toolrooms, includes the cobalt M20x1.5 machine tap for metric fine threads. The 6H tolerance in accordance with DIN 374 guarantees the dimensional repeatability required when manufacturing industrial hydraulic and pneumatic components. Made of high-speed steel with 5% cobalt, the tool achieves a hardness of 65-67 HRC and heat resistance up to 650°C, significantly extending tool life when machining difficult-to-machine materials. The M20x1.5 metric fine thread has the most popular fine pitch for the M20 diameter.
Why choose the M20x1.5 metric fine thread machine tap
- Most popular fine pitch of 1.5 mm for the M20 diameter combines good adjustment precision with fast assembly and wide fastener availability
- Improved leak tightness of connections thanks to more threads per unit length, which is critical in industrial hydraulics and pneumatics
- HSSE steel with 5% cobalt guarantees a hardness of 65-67 HRC and thermal resistance up to 650°C required when machining alloy and stainless steels
- Tolerance 6H according to DIN 374 ensures precise thread production and full interchangeability with standard-grade fasteners
- Compatibility with ER32 holders and tapping chucks with axial compensation for CNC machining centers
- Recommended tap drill diameter 18.5 mm for the M20x1.5 metric fine thread ensures an optimal percentage of thread engagement
The M20x1.5 machine tap for metric fine threads is used to manufacture valve blocks, pneumatic cylinders, and industrial valves and fittings where leak tightness and vibration resistance are required. The M20x1.5 metric fine thread is standard in high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic connections. A coolant emulsion with EP additives at a concentration of 8-10% is recommended.
