Maykestag Speedtap-Inox M4 x 0.7 Straight-Fluted Machine Tap

Professional M4 x 0.7 Speedtap-Inox machine tap manufactured from HSSE-V3, featuring straight flutes, three cutting flutes, VAPO surface treatment and Form B chamfer geometry for producing metric ISO through threads. Manufactured to DIN 376 with ISO 2 (6H) thread tolerance.

The Maykestag Code 4612 Speedtap-Inox is a high-performance straight-fluted machine tap for producing metric ISO internal threads according to DIN 13. This M4 version has a 0.70mm pitch and is designed for through-hole tapping, with a Form B chamfer extending over approximately 3.5 to 5 thread pitches. Its HSSE-V3 cutting material, VAPO-treated surface and precision thread geometry make it particularly well suited to demanding professional threading applications, including stainless steels.

What is a straight-fluted machine tap? A straight-fluted machine tap has flutes running parallel to the tool axis rather than spiralling around the tap. On a through-hole tap, the Form B lead chamfer progressively distributes the cutting action over approximately 3.5 to 5 thread pitches, allowing chips to move ahead of the cutting section and through the open bottom of the hole. The Code 4612 combines this geometry with a precision 60° metric ISO thread profile for controlled, repeatable machine tapping.

Product highlights

  • Speedtap-Inox series: Maykestag high-performance threading tool designed for professional machine tapping applications.
  • M4 x 0.7 metric thread: Produces M4 metric ISO internal threads with a 0.70mm pitch.
  • Straight-fluted geometry: Designed for efficient through-hole tapping with chips directed ahead of the cutting action.
  • Three cutting flutes: The M4 size uses three flutes for controlled cutting and accurate thread formation.
  • Form B chamfer: 3.5-5 pitch lead chamfer provides progressive cutting engagement for through-hole applications.
  • DIN 376: Manufactured to the dimensional standard specified by Maykestag for this machine-tap series.
  • ISO 2 (6H) tolerance: Produces a standard metric internal thread tolerance class suitable for general engineering applications.
  • HSSE-V3 cutting material: High-performance alloyed high-speed steel selected for demanding threading operations.
  • VAPO surface treatment: Vapour-treated surface designed to assist lubrication and reduce material adhesion during tapping.
  • 60° metric thread profile: Correct profile for metric ISO threads according to DIN 13.
  • Through-hole tapping: Maykestag specifies the series for through-hole applications with a threading depth of up to 3 x d1.
  • 3.3mm tap-drill size: Maykestag specifies a Ø3.3mm preparation hole for this M4 x 0.7 tap.

Why Choose Maykestag?

Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool brand specialising in precision-manufactured drilling, milling and threading tools for professional machining. With threading tools, accurate control of the thread profile, pitch, cutting geometry and tolerance is essential because small dimensional variations can directly affect thread quality, tool life and assembly reliability.

The Code 4612 Speedtap-Inox series combines HSSE-V3 cutting material, straight-fluted geometry, Form B chamfer design and VAPO surface treatment. The range is engineered for metric ISO through-hole threading and carries particularly strong Maykestag application ratings for steels, stainless steels and cast iron.

Designed for Accurate Metric Threading

This M4 Speedtap-Inox tap combines a 0.70mm pitch with a 60° ISO metric thread profile and ISO 2 (6H) tolerance for accurate internal thread production. The Form B chamfer provides gradual cutting engagement, while the three straight flutes provide the chip space required during through-hole tapping. Maykestag specifies an overall tool length of 63mm, a 13mm threaded cutting length, a 2.8mm shank diameter and a 2.1mm square drive dimension for this M4 version. When used with the specified 3.3mm tapping-drill diameter and appropriate cutting conditions, the tool is designed for reliable, repeatable machine threading.

What is VAPO coating?

VAPO is a vapour-treated oxidised surface finish used on high-speed-steel cutting tools. The treatment creates a dark oxide surface that can improve lubricant retention and help reduce friction and material adhesion during cutting. On a machine tap such as the Speedtap-Inox Code 4612, this is particularly useful where controlled lubrication and resistance to material pick-up are important for consistent thread production.

Get the Right Cutting Data  SpeedGuide Calculator

MaySpeedGuide: Maykestag recommends using the MaySpeedGuide to determine the appropriate cutting conditions for the tool, workpiece material and machining application.

Correct hole preparation is essential. For this M4 x 0.70 machine tap, Maykestag specifies a Ø3.3mm tapping-drill diameter. Correct hole size, alignment, lubrication and cutting conditions help produce accurate threads and maximise tap life.
