MAYKESTAG Speedtap Universal HSS-E Co8 M1.2 Rolling Tap DIN 2174 6HX TiCN

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.

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.

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.
