Product Description
The HT-HSSE-M is a straight flute tap made of cobalt high-speed steel (HSS-E) — straight flutes suit both hand and machine tapping. It comes in 37 sizes (thread dia 3~48, pitch 0.5~5). Supplied uncoated (bright finish). It handles carbon and alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and copper, with workpiece hardness up to HRC40. Typical applications: hand tapping with a tap wrench in repair and assembly work, and shallow machine tapping in short-chipping materials such as cast iron. In the same H.T.D family: the alloy tool steel HT-SKS-M (192 sizes, thread dia 1~58), the long-shank straight flute LHT-M, plus the spiral flute SFT-HSSE-M for blind holes and the spiral point POT-HSSE-M for through holes; HT-HSSE-M is HSS-E (cobalt), thread dia 3~48 in 37 sizes. Can it tap both blind and through holes? Yes; a straight flute tap holds chips in its flutes, so for deep blind holes or high volumes choose the spiral flute SFT-HSSE-M (blind holes) or the spiral point POT-HSSE-M (through holes). Is there a fine pitch at M10? This series has M10x1.25 and M10x1.5; for M10x1 see HT-SKS-M.
