Wilson’s newest DIN Spiral Flute Taps is a tool specifically designed to drill internal threaded holes in materials according to the technical standards (called DIN standards) in Germany. Because the chip discharge groove in its belly is spiral shaped, it is called this name. This can be divided into DIN Extended Spiral Flute Taps and DIN Extended Spiral Flute Taps according to length.This type of tap is quite common in mechanical factories and places that require fine work around the world.
The most distinctive feature of DIN Spiral Flute Taps is their spiral flute structure. This flute acts like an escalator, pushing chips along the flute edge. If the hole becomes clogged, the chips flow along the flute toward the hole opening, reducing the chance of them becoming stuck. Common helix angles range from approximately 10 degrees to 45 degrees, depending on the material being machined and the size of the threaded hole. This design offers the advantage of easy chip evacuation and minimal resistance during machining.
Commonly seen 'workplace':
Precision machinery industry: For example, machining internal threads for automotive parts (such as engine cylinder blocks and gearbox parts that require screwing) or aircraft and rocket parts (such as hydraulic pipe connections).
The industry of making molds: Processing threads for mold templates, positioning holes, and other areas, which usually require high precision, and the threads need to be perfectly matched.
General manufacturing plants: Processing particularly hard steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, etc., especially for machining non through holes or deeper holes. If chips are not easy to come out, this type of spiral groove tap is particularly suitable.
