Maykestag HSS-Co5 Machine Tap M30 x 3.5 Straight Fluted
Professional M30 x 3.5 metric machine tap manufactured from HSS-Co5, featuring straight flutes, a Form B chamfer and ISO 2 (6H) thread tolerance. Designed for dependable production of large metric ISO threads in through holes, with Maykestag's green-ring universal classification for a broad range of engineering materials.
The Maykestag Code 4803 M30 machine tap is a precision threading tool for producing M30 x 3.5 metric ISO internal threads in through-hole applications. Its straight-fluted geometry provides a strong and proven cutting form, while the Form B chamfer of 3.5–5 pitches distributes the cutting action progressively across several teeth for controlled thread generation.
Manufactured from HSS-Co5 cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel, this substantial M30 tap combines the toughness required for high tapping torque with improved heat resistance and cutting-edge durability. The M30 version is manufactured to DIN 376 dimensions and is designed to produce a metric internal thread to the widely used ISO 2 (6H) tolerance class.
What is a straight-fluted machine tap? A straight-fluted machine tap has flutes running parallel with the centreline of the tool. This provides a strong, uncomplicated cutting geometry with robust cutting teeth and generous flute space. Combined with the Code 4803's Form B chamfer, it is particularly well suited to machine tapping through holes where the cutting end is able to continue beyond the far side of the workpiece.

Why Choose Maykestag?
Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool specialist focused on precision-manufactured tooling for professional machining. With a large thread such as M30, correct tool geometry, dimensional accuracy and material quality become particularly important because the tap must withstand substantial cutting forces while producing a consistent thread profile throughout the hole.
The Code 4803 series combines HSS-Co5 tool material with straight-fluted geometry, a Form B chamfer and ISO 2 (6H) thread accuracy. The result is a practical professional threading tool for engineering workshops, maintenance operations and production environments where reliable, repeatable metric threads are required.
Designed for Reliable M30 Thread Production
This M30 version has a 3.5mm thread pitch, 180mm overall length and 40mm thread length. The substantial 22mm shank and 18mm square provide a strong drive section for compatible machine-tapping equipment, while Maykestag specifies a 26.5mm tap-drill diameter for correct hole preparation. With a tap of this size, rigid alignment, the correct cutting speed, suitable lubrication and accurate pre-drilling are especially important for managing tapping torque and achieving clean, consistent threads.
