M12 DIN 376C R45 (6H) HSSE-PM HL EL-CUT machine tap

The M12 DIN 376C R45 (6H) HSSE-PM HL EL-CUT machine tap is a high-performance threading tool designed for professional machining of through holes in a wide range of materials. Manufactured from premium powder metallurgy high-speed steel with cobalt (HSSE-PM), this tap offers exceptional wear resistance and tool life. The optimized EL-CUT cutting geometry ensures smooth chip evacuation and precise thread formation, while the 45° right-hand helix and chamfer form C (2-3 threads lead) make it ideal for through-hole applications.

Advantages

This tap delivers consistent, high-quality threads with reduced cutting forces and extended tool life. The HSSE-PM material provides superior hardness and heat resistance, enabling higher cutting speeds and productivity. The EL-CUT coating minimizes friction and built-up edge, resulting in excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
