Product Specifications:
This A30 HSSE spiral flute tap is designed for general-purpose threading in stainless steel and aluminum alloys. The 15° spiral angle provides balanced chip evacuation for shallow to medium-depth blind holes, while the 3‑flute design delivers smooth cutting action and good thread finish. With an overall length of 83mm and working length of 18mm, it is optimized for common blind hole depths in CNC machining and manual tapping.
The M10x1.25 tap performs reliably in austenitic stainless steel (304, 316), aluminum alloys (6061, 7075), carbon steel, and cast iron. The uncoated A30 HSSE substrate offers excellent wear resistance and toughness. For higher speeds or abrasive conditions, TiN or TiAlN coatings can be applied upon request to further extend tool life.
Typical applications include automotive components, electronic enclosures, hydraulic fittings, and general machinery. Custom options include left‑hand flutes, reduced shank diameters, and special thread tolerances. For cost-effective threading in stainless and aluminum, this A30 tap delivers consistent quality and long service life.
Spiral flute taps are ideal for blind holes (chip evacuation upward), while spiral point taps are best for through holes.Read full guide →
