12mm Metric Fine Tap MF12x1.5 HSS ISO2 (6H) For Through And Blind Holes, Right-Hand - TECWERK

Combine reliable HSS cutting performance with an ISO2 (6H) tolerance for consistent MF12×1.5 finishing threads; order the tap directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants for tailored technical advice.

Hand tap DIN 2181 No.2 MF12x1.5mm HSS ISO2 (6H) — TECWERK finishing tap

A Hand tap DIN 2181 No.2 MF12x1.5mm HSS ISO2 (6H) designed for producing metric fine threads in through and blind holes, suitable for steels up to approx. 900 N/mm².

• DIN 2181 finishing tap, right-hand cut
• HSS cutting material for durability
• Tolerance class ISO2 (6H)
• Suitable for through and blind holes

Precision finishing that reduces rework and ensures fit

As a finishing tap, this cutting tool is optimised to produce the final thread profile with close dimensional control. The ISO2 (6H) tolerance provides a predictable fit for mating parts, reducing the need for subsequent rework or measurement cycles. The finishing geometry removes minimal material while forming a clean flank, which directly improves assembly reliability and repeatability in production runs.

Robust material and usable limits explained

Manufactured from HSS, the tool offers sustained sharpness and toughness for manual threading tasks. The specified capacity for steels up to approx. 900 N/mm² means the tap is suitable for a broad range of mild and medium-alloy steels commonly used in workshops. The shank Ø 9 mm allows secure clamping in standard tap wrenches or handheld holders, while the right-hand cutting direction matches conventional threading practice.

Practical handling and process recommendations

For consistent results, use appropriate cutting fluid and controlled feed during hand tapping to support chip evacuation and extend tool life. When producing threads in blind holes, withdraw the tap periodically to clear chips; for through holes a steady stroke typically suffices. The finishing geometry is not intended for roughing; use a plug or intermediate tap for heavier stock removal before switching to the finishing cutter to achieve the specified MF12x1.5 accuracy.

Workshop benefits and supply reliability

The finishing tap integrates into standard tooling assortments and supports quality-oriented shops seeking dependable thread precision. Its conformity to DIN 2181 and the ISO2 (6H) tolerance assists in meeting inspection criteria without complex measurement setups. Supplied through Metav’s distribution, the tool benefits from a consolidated procurement process and consistent availability for production or maintenance needs.

FAQ

What materials can this tap machine reliably thread?
The TECWERK finishing tap is specified for use in steels up to approximately 900 N/mm²; its HSS construction is suitable for common mild and medium-alloy steels.

Is this tap suitable for blind-hole threading?
Yes — the tool is designed for both through and blind holes; when tapping blind holes with this finishing tap, withdraw periodically to clear chips.

What tolerance and fit does the tap deliver?
With ISO2 (6H) tolerance the tap produces a standard metric fine thread fit, appropriate for consistent assembly with corresponding ISO-classified fasteners.

Can the tap be used directly after drilling without a pilot or intermediate tap?
For best results, use an appropriate drill size and consider an intermediate tap for heavy material removal; the finishing tap is optimised for the final pass to achieve accurate thread form.

Which holder or wrench fits the shank?
The shank Ø 9 mm allows clamping in standard manual tap wrenches and holders compatible with a 9 mm shank diameter.

Is this tap suitable for high-speed machine tapping?
This item is specified as a hand finishing tap; machine use is not covered in the specifications and would require verification of clamping and speed parameters against the tool’s intended application.
