Maykestag Speedtap Universal HSS-E Co8 M1.2 Rolling Tap TiCN

Professional M1.2 x 0.25 Speedtap Universal rolling tap manufactured from HSS-E Co8 and finished with a wear-resistant TiCN coating. Designed to form metric ISO threads without 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 forms the thread by controlled displacement of the workpiece material rather than removing it as chips. This chipless process makes the tool particularly useful in suitable ductile materials and applications where reliable thread production and clean machining are important. The Code 4669 series is manufactured from cobalt-alloyed HSS-E Co8 and protected by a TiCN coating for professional production use.

What is a rolling tap? A rolling tap, also known as a thread-forming or fluteless tap, creates an internal thread by plastically forming and displacing the material instead of cutting it away. Because no cutting chips are produced, there is no swarf that needs to be evacuated from the thread. Correct pre-hole diameter and effective lubrication are especially important because the material must have sufficient space to flow into the final thread profile during the forming process.

Product highlights

  • M1.2 x 0.25 metric thread: Designed specifically for forming an M1.2 metric ISO thread with a 0.25mm 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 the toughness, hot hardness and wear resistance required for demanding thread-forming operations.
  • TiCN coating: Titanium carbonitride coating provides a hard, wear-resistant surface suited to demanding repetitive 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.
  • Through and blind holes: The Speedtap Universal rolling-tap geometry is suitable for both through-hole and blind-hole thread-forming applications.

Why Choose Maykestag?

Maykestag develops precision threading tools for professional machining applications where tool geometry, dimensional accuracy, coating technology and repeatable performance are critical. Thread forming places very different demands on a tool compared with conventional thread cutting, making the correct combination of tool material, forming geometry, coating and lubrication particularly important.

The Code 4669 Speedtap Universal combines HSS-E Co8 tool material, TiCN coating, DIN 2174 geometry and a 6HX thread tolerance in a specialised rolling tap designed for chipless internal thread production. For very small threads such as M1.2, maintaining the specified pre-hole diameter, alignment and lubrication is particularly important for reliable results.

Designed for Controlled Chipless Thread Forming

The M1.2 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 a 0.95mm pre-hole diameter for this M1.2 x 0.25 Code 4669 tap. Correct machine alignment, suitable lubrication and appropriate forming speed help control torque, protect the small-diameter tool and produce a consistent thread profile.

What is TiCN coating?

TiCN - Titanium Carbonitride is a hard, wear-resistant coating used on precision cutting and thread-forming tools. The coating helps protect the working surfaces of the tap against abrasive wear and supports consistent performance during repeated threading operations. Correct lubrication remains essential with a rolling tap because the thread is produced by forming and displacing the workpiece material rather than cutting it away.

MaySpeedGuide: Maykestag recommends using the MaySpeedGuide to determine the appropriate forming speed, lubrication and machining conditions for the tool, workpiece material and threading application.

Pre-hole diameter is critical with rolling taps. For this M1.2 x 0.25 Code 4669 tap, Maykestag specifies a 0.95mm pre-hole diameter. A rolling tap displaces material to create the thread, so the correct prepared-hole diameter is particularly important for controlling forming torque and producing the intended thread profile.
