Maykestag Speedtap Universal HSSE-V3 Machine Tap M3 x 0.5

Professional M3 x 0.5 Speedtap Universal machine tap manufactured from HSSE-V3 with straight-fluted geometry for producing metric ISO internal threads to DIN 13. Manufactured to DIN 376 with ISO2 (6H) thread tolerance and a Form B chamfer of 3.5-5 pitches for reliable machine tapping of through holes.

The Maykestag Code 4631 Speedtap Universal is a straight-fluted machine tap developed for machining metric ISO threads. This M3 version has a standard 0.5mm pitch and is manufactured to DIN 376 dimensional requirements with an ISO2 (6H) thread tolerance. Maykestag specifies the series for through-hole applications with a threading depth of up to 3 x the nominal thread diameter. The combination of HSSE-V3 cutting material, straight flutes and a Form B lead makes it a professional threading tool for controlled, repeatable machine tapping.

What is a straight-fluted machine tap? A straight-fluted machine tap has flutes that run parallel to the axis of the tool rather than following a spiral path. The flutes provide the cutting edges and space required during thread formation. The Maykestag Code 4631 is specifically identified as a Speedtap Universal straight-fluted machine tap for metric ISO threads and is intended for through-hole applications.

Why Choose Maykestag?

Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool brand focused on precision-manufactured tools for professional machining. With threading tools, accurate geometry, thread tolerance, cutting material and dimensional consistency are particularly important because they directly influence thread quality, tool life and repeatability. Maykestag provides clearly defined standards and application data to help users select the correct tap for the machining task.

The Code 4631 Speedtap Universal series combines HSSE-V3 cutting material with straight-fluted geometry, DIN 376 dimensions, metric ISO thread geometry and an ISO2 (6H) tolerance. The M3 model features a 0.5mm pitch, three cutting flutes and a Form B chamfer, providing a precisely specified solution for professional M3 through-hole threading.

Designed for Accurate Metric Threading

The Code 4631 combines straight-fluted cutting geometry with a Form B lead of 3.5-5 pitches to provide progressive cutting engagement as the tap enters the prepared hole. For this M3 model, Maykestag specifies a 2.5mm tap-drill diameter, a 0.5mm thread pitch and an ISO2 (6H) tolerance. Using the correct tap-drill size together with suitable cutting speed, lubrication and machining conditions is essential for producing accurate threads and achieving dependable tool life.

What does Form B (3.5-5 P) mean?

The Form B chamfer specifies the lead-in section at the cutting end of the tap. For Code 4631, Maykestag specifies a chamfer length of approximately 3.5 to 5 thread pitches (P). This allows the cutting load to be distributed progressively across several teeth as the tap enters the prepared hole.
