MAYKESTAG Speedtap Universal HSS-E Co8 M10 Rolling Tap DIN 2174 6HX TiCN

Maykestag Speedtap Universal HSS-E Co8 M10 Rolling Tap TiCN

Professional M10 x 1.5 Speedtap Universal rolling tap manufactured from HSS-E Co8 and finished with a wear-resistant TiCN coating. Designed to form metric ISO threads without producing cutting chips, with lubrication grooves, DIN 2174 geometry, 6HX tolerance and Form C chamfer for reliable machine thread forming.

The Maykestag Code 4669 Speedtap Universal is a high-performance machine rolling tap for forming metric ISO threads to DIN 13. Unlike a conventional cutting tap, the rolling tap creates the thread by controlled displacement of the workpiece material rather than removing material as chips. This chipless process is particularly useful in suitable ductile materials where clean, repeatable internal thread production is required. The Code 4669 series is manufactured from cobalt-alloyed HSS-E Co8 and protected by a TiCN coating for demanding professional production use.

Product highlights

• M10 x 1.5 metric thread: Designed specifically for forming an M10 metric ISO thread with a 1.5mm pitch.
• Speedtap Universal: Maykestag's universal high-performance thread-forming design for professional machine threading applications.
• Chipless thread forming: Forms the internal thread through material displacement rather than conventional chip-producing cutting.
• HSS-E Co8 construction: Cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel provides excellent toughness, hot hardness and wear resistance for demanding thread-forming operations.
• TiCN coating: Titanium carbonitride provides a hard, wear-resistant surface suited to repetitive professional machining.
• Lubrication grooves: Designed to assist lubricant distribution along the working area during thread forming.
• DIN 2174: Manufactured according to the dimensional standard specified by Maykestag for this rolling-tap series.
• 6HX tolerance: Precision thread-forming tolerance specified for the Code 4669 Speedtap Universal range.
• Form C chamfer: 2–3 pitch chamfer provides the specified forming lead for controlled thread engagement.
• 8 forming lobes: The M10 version is specified with eight forming lobes for controlled material displacement during thread production.
• Through and blind holes: The Speedtap Universal geometry is suitable for both through-hole and blind-hole thread-forming applications.

Designed for Controlled Chipless Thread Forming

The M10 Speedtap forms the thread by progressively displacing material as the Form C lead enters the prepared hole. Because material is formed rather than removed, correct preparation of the pre-hole is critical. Maykestag specifies an 8.5mm pre-hole diameter for this M10 x 1.5 Code 4669 tap. Correct machine alignment, suitable lubrication and appropriate forming speed help control torque, protect the tool and produce a consistent thread profile.
