How a spiral flute tap evacuates chips from a blind hole

The 40° flute works like a screw conveyor

The flutes of this tap spiral to the right 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 clean, and the cutting edges do not encounter packed chips. The M3.5 x0.6 tap has a reinforced shank to DIN 371: diameter 4 mm, square 3 mm.

M3.5 spiral-flute machine tap – for blind holes

The M3.5 spiral flute machine tap from the miniature series is designed to produce special threads in precision engineering and electronics. HSSE steel construction with 5% cobalt provides a hardness of 65-67 HRC and high cutting edge heat resistance up to 650°C. The 40° spiral flute ensures aggressive chip evacuation when tapping deep blind holes. Its form C chamfer makes the tool particularly suitable for tapping close to the bottom of blind holes. The 6H tolerance conforming to DIN 371 meets precision manufacturing requirements.

Key features of the M3.5 spiral flute machine tap

  • Manufacturing precision to 6H tolerance guarantees dimensional repeatability and full thread interchangeability in series production of mechanical components
  • Compliance with DIN 371 confirms quality and ensures standardized short shank dimensions compatible with European machine tool holders
  • Durability of HSSE steel with 5% cobalt allows operation at temperatures up to 650°C without loss of the cutting edge's mechanical properties
  • Compatibility with ER11 and ER16 tool holders and tapping heads for CNC machining centers with synchronous tapping capability
  • Designed for precision engineering includes electronic housings, optical components, and measuring equipment requiring special threads
  • 40° spiral flutes ensure aggressive chip evacuation when tapping blind holes up to 2.5D deep without the risk of breakage

The M3.5 spiral flute tap is suitable for manufacturing electronic components and measuring equipment requiring threads with a nonstandard diameter. The standard pitch of the M3.5 thread is 0.6 mm, with a tap drill diameter of 2.9 mm. The tool works with standard coolant emulsions and tapping oils.

Frequently asked questions

The M3.5 HSSE spiral flute machine tap is suitable for structural steels up to 900 MPa, stainless steels, aluminum, and brass. Size M3.5 is used in electronics and precision engineering requiring special threads.

For an M3.5x0.6 thread in tolerance class 6H, the tap drill diameter should be 2.9 mm. The permissible hole diameter range is 2.9-3.0 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. The tool requires careful handling and low cutting speeds, similar to M3.
