Tap Topex M10 tungsten DIN 352 — thread tap M10, tungsten-coated, DIN 352 standard

Tap Topex M10 tungsten DIN 352 — thread tap M10, tungsten-coated, DIN 352 standard is a manual and machine tap designed to cut M10 metric internal threads. Manufactured to DIN 352 dimensions, the tool has a tungsten-coated cutting surface that increases wear resistance and extends tool life compared with uncoated taps. It is suitable for tapping through and blind holes in a range of metals and alloys used in production, maintenance, and repair operations.

Advantages

The tungsten coating on the cutting edges improves durability and reduces abrasive wear during repetitive tapping operations. Compliance with DIN 352 ensures consistent thread geometry and interchangeability with standard M10 fasteners. The design supports both hand-held and machine use, providing versatility across workshop and production environments.

Suitable for

• Tapping M10 internal threads in steel and non-ferrous alloys
• Through-hole and blind-hole thread production
• Maintenance, repair, and assembly tasks requiring standard M10 threads
• Small-batch and production-line threading operations

Key specifications

• Thread size: M10 (metric)
• Standard: DIN 352 thread-form and dimensions
• Surface: tungsten-coated cutting surface for increased wear resistance
• Application: suitable for hand tapping and machine tapping
• Compatible hole types: through holes and blind holes

How to use

Select an appropriate drill size for the M10 core hole and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. For hand tapping, use a proper tap wrench and keep the tool perpendicular to the workpiece; for machine tapping, set correct spindle speed and feed to match material and tap type. Apply a suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and cooling, advance the tap steadily, and periodically reverse slightly to break and clear chips. After threading, clean the hole and inspect the thread fit with an M10 fastener or gauge.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material, avoid excessive spindle speeds on machine taps, and replace the tap if the coating is worn or the cutting edges are damaged to maintain consistent thread quality.
