Maykestag HSS-Co5 Machine Tap M20 x 2 Straight Fluted
Professional M20 x 2 metric machine tap manufactured from HSS-Co5, featuring straight flutes, a Form B chamfer and ISO 2 (6H) thread tolerance. Designed for accurate and dependable machine tapping of metric ISO through threads across a versatile range of engineering materials.
The Maykestag Code 4803 M20 machine tap is engineered for producing precise M20 x 2 metric ISO internal threads in through-hole applications. Its straight-fluted cutting geometry provides a strong, proven design for general machine tapping, while the Form B chamfer of 3.5–5 pitches spreads the cutting load progressively across several teeth for smoother engagement and controlled thread production.
Manufactured from HSS-Co5 cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel, this tap combines the toughness required to withstand tapping torque with improved heat and wear resistance at the cutting edges. The M20 version is manufactured to DIN 376 dimensional requirements and produces an internal metric thread to the widely used ISO 2 (6H) tolerance class.
Product highlights

Why Choose Maykestag?
Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool specialist with a strong focus on precision geometry, carefully selected tool materials and clearly defined application data. These details are particularly important in thread production, where correct geometry, alignment and dimensional accuracy directly influence thread quality, tool life and machining reliability.
The Code 4803 series combines durable HSS-Co5 tool material with straight-fluted geometry, a Form B chamfer and ISO 2 (6H) thread accuracy. It is a dependable choice for engineering workshops, maintenance departments and production environments requiring repeatable metric threads from a purpose-designed professional machine tap.
Designed for Reliable M20 Thread Production
This M20 version combines a 2mm thread pitch with a substantial 140mm overall length and 32mm threaded cutting length. The 16mm shank and 12mm square provide a strong drive connection for suitable machine-tapping equipment, while Maykestag specifies a 17.5mm tap-drill diameter for preparing the workpiece. Correct hole size, tool alignment, cutting speed and suitable lubrication are important for producing clean threads while reducing unnecessary torque and wear on the tap.
