DIN Standard General HSS-E Form Tap - M3 to M6x0.75
DIN Standard General HSS-E Form Tap - M3 to M6x0.75
DIN Standard General HSS-E Form Tap
High-speed steel extra (HSS-E) thread forming taps manufactured to DIN standards. TiCN-coated for extended tool life. Form taps create threads by displacing material rather than cutting, producing stronger threads with no chips.
Specifications:
- Material: HSS-E (High-Speed Steel Extra)
- Standard: DIN (German Institute for Standardization)
- Type: Form Tap (Thread Forming)
- Coating: TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride)
- Thread Standard: Metric M (F)
- Point Angle: 60°
- Shank Type: 6HX (Hexagonal)
- Chamfer: max 3xd
Available Sizes:
M3, M4, M5, M6, M3x0.35, M4x0.5, M5x0.5, M6x0.5, M6x0.75

Technical Notes:
- Form tap design displaces material to create threads without producing chips
- Produces stronger threads with improved surface finish compared to cutting taps
- Ideal for ductile materials that can be cold-formed
- HSS-E construction provides heat resistance and durability
- TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life
- 6HX hexagonal shank for secure tool holding
- Conforms to DIN dimensional standards
- Max 3xd chamfer
Applications:
Suitable for thread forming in ductile materials including aluminum, copper, brass, mild steel, and other materials with good plasticity. Produces chip-free threading ideal for blind holes and applications where chip contamination must be avoided. Not suitable for brittle materials like cast iron.
