Maykestag Speedtap Universal HSSE-V3 Machine Tap M5 Spiral Fluted DIN 376
Professional M5 x 0.8 Speedtap Universal machine tap manufactured from HSSE-V3, featuring 40° spiral-fluted geometry, a Form C chamfer and ISO2 (6H) thread tolerance for accurate metric ISO threading in blind holes.
The Maykestag Code 4671 Speedtap Universal is a spiral-fluted machine tap designed for producing metric ISO threads according to DIN 13. This M5 version has a 0.8mm thread pitch and is manufactured to DIN 376, combining a 40° spiral angle with a short Form C chamfer of 2–3 pitches. Its geometry is specifically designed for blind-hole threading, where efficient chip evacuation is essential for reliable machining and consistent thread quality.
What is a spiral-fluted machine tap?
A spiral-fluted machine tap has helical flutes running around the cutting section of the tool. During blind-hole tapping, the spiral geometry helps guide chips back towards the entrance of the hole rather than pushing them deeper into the workpiece. The Code 4671 uses a pronounced 40° spiral angle together with Form C chamfer geometry for controlled, efficient machine tapping.

Why Choose Maykestag?
Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool specialist focused on precision-manufactured drilling, milling, reaming and threading tools for professional machining. Accurate geometry, dimensional consistency and carefully selected cutting materials are especially important in machine tapping, where reliable chip control and consistent thread quality directly influence productivity and tool life.
The Code 4671 Speedtap Universal series combines HSSE-V3 cutting material, 40° spiral-fluted geometry and a Form C chamfer with precisely defined metric ISO thread tolerances. For this M5 version, Maykestag specifies a 0.8mm pitch, three flutes and a Ø4.2mm recommended tap-drill diameter.
Designed for Blind-Hole Machine Tapping
Blind-hole tapping requires effective chip management because there is no opening beneath the thread through which chips can escape. The 40° spiral-fluted geometry of the Speedtap Universal is designed to transport chips back towards the entry side of the hole during machining. Combined with the short Form C chamfer and ISO2 (6H) thread tolerance, the Code 4671 provides a purpose-designed solution for accurate machine production of metric ISO internal threads.
