Sutton T676 M3 x 0.5 Spiral Flute Tap R50 VA PM - PM-HSSE V3 - TiCN - DIN 371
Available
The Sutton T676 is a spiral flute tap (R50 spiral, VA PM designation) for metric coarse (M) threads, made from powder metallurgy, vanadium grade high speed steel (PM-HSSE V3) with a TiCN coating. This listing covers 7 sizes from M3 x 0.5 to M10 x 1.5.
The 50° right-hand spiral flute suits blind holes in long chipping materials: the high helix angle curls the chips and transports them back out of the hole. The tap cuts on reversal, so the flutes have rake on both front and back faces. The VA PM designation is for stainless and tough steels, with the VA geometry in powder metal high speed steel. The chamfer is Form E (1.5 x P), for blind holes with very short thread run-out.
The thread tolerance is 6HX. The tap is built to DIN 371: reinforced shank with square drive.
Where this product is used
- Use in stainless steels and high strength steels up to 1000 N/mm2.
- Through holes.
- Suitable for synchronous tapping in machine operations.
- Depths up to approx. 3 x d1.
Design features
- Powder metallurgy, vanadium grade high speed steel (PM-HSSE V3). The very fine and uniform grain structure allows high hardness while keeping good toughness, for materials up to 40 HRC and difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steels.
- TiCN coating for abrasive materials such as cast iron and aluminium alloys, and adhesive materials such as copper and copper-based alloys.
- 3 flutes.
- 50° right-hand spiral flute.
- Form E chamfer, 1.5 x P.
- Thread tolerance 6HX.
- The VA PM designation is for stainless and tough steels, with the VA geometry in powder metal high speed steel.
- PM-HSSE V3 offers higher edge hardness than standard VA series.
- DIN 371 construction, reinforced shank with square drive.
