Konekierretappi M10 DIN 371-C R15 (6HX) HSSE-PM TS 1400

On the shop floor, a machinist sets up a through-hole tapping job on a batch of stainless steel flanges. The M10 machine tap with spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, clearing the hole cleanly and preventing clogging. Its HSSE-PM substrate with cobalt and powder metallurgy structure holds an edge longer, even in alloy steels and cast iron, reducing tool changes and downtime.

Key specifications

• Thread: M10 × 1.5 mm, metric coarse, right-hand
• Standard: DIN 371, reinforced shank
• Chamfer form: C (2–3 threads lead-in)
• Tolerance class: 6HX
• Material: HSSE-PM (high-speed steel with cobalt, powder metallurgy)
• Flute type: spiral point (gun tap), through holes
• Coating/series: TS1400
• Application: general purpose steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron

Why choose it

The powder metallurgy process produces a fine, homogeneous carbide distribution, giving this tap superior wear resistance and toughness compared to conventional HSS. The spiral point design is optimized for through holes, allowing higher cutting speeds and longer tool life. The 6HX tolerance class ensures a precise fit for standard metric threads, while the reinforced shank improves rigidity and reduces deflection.

Ideal use cases

• Production tapping of through holes in steel and stainless steel components
• Maintenance and repair operations on cast iron machine parts
• CNC machining centers and manual tapping applications
• Job shops requiring a durable, general-purpose M10 tap

Good to know

This tap is part of the FANAR TS series, designed for high-performance threading. It is suitable for use with appropriate tapping fluids to maximize tool life. Always ensure correct alignment and use a tapping chuck or collet for best results.
