Its 40° spiral flute geometry directs chips back towards the entrance of the hole, making the tap particularly suitable for blind-hole threading where effective chip evacuation is important. Manufactured to DIN 376 and designed for thread depths up to 2.5 times the nominal diameter, the Speedtap Universal combines controlled chip removal, accurate thread production and dependable performance in suitable non-alloyed and alloyed steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a spiral-flute machine tap?\u003c\/strong\u003e A spiral-flute machine tap uses helical flutes to transport chips backwards and out of the hole while the thread is being cut.

With threading tools, accurate geometry, reliable dimensional tolerances and effective chip control are essential because even small deviations can affect thread quality, tool life and process reliability. Maykestag machine taps are developed around clearly specified thread standards, cutting materials and application data to help professional users select the correct tool for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCode 4611 Speedtap Universal\u003c\/strong\u003e series combines HSSE-V3 tool material with a 40° spiral flute, Form C chamfer and VAPO surface treatment for blind-hole threading.
