Thread Tap FANAR GWINTOWNIK M10 DIN-376C R45 (6HX) HSSE-PM HL MASTERTAP

FANAR GWINTOWNIK M10 DIN‑376C R45 (6HX) HSSE‑PM HL MASTERTAP is a machine thread tap engineered to produce M10 internal threads to DIN‑376C dimensions. The tap is made from HSSE‑PM (high-speed steel with powder metallurgy) for improved wear resistance and toughness and features high‑land (HL) geometry for reliable chip control and thread quality. Designated R45 (6HX) tolerance provides the appropriate fit class for common metric M10 tapping tasks in metalworking and production settings.

Advantages

The HSSE‑PM material increases tool life and performance under cyclic loads and elevated temperatures compared with conventional HSS taps. High‑land geometry improves chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of thread damage and enabling consistent thread form. The DIN‑376C design ensures dimensional compatibility with standard machine tapping operations, while the R45 (6HX) tolerance delivers predictable fit and assembly behavior. The MASTERTAP line indicates controlled manufacturing and quality standards for repeatable results.

Suitable for

• Machine tapping of M10 internal threads in steel and alloyed materials
• Toolroom and workshop production where repeatable thread accuracy is required
• Batch production and maintenance operations using tapping heads or rigid tapping machines

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the FANAR M10 tap in a suitable machine tap holder or collet chuck ensuring axial alignment and secure clamping. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the work material to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. For machine tapping follow recommended spindle speeds and feed rates for M10 threading in the chosen material, and employ peck tapping or reverse‑feed cycles if chips risk jamming. Inspect threads after tapping for dimensional accuracy and surface condition.

Usage recommendations

Choose cutting parameters and lubrication based on the workpiece material; for hardened or abrasive alloys use slower speeds and abundant coolant. Replace the tap at the first signs of wear or chipping to maintain thread quality. When tapping blind holes, control depth and clear chips frequently to prevent breakage.
