TECWERK Hand Tap Set M3 x 0.5 HSS, ISO2 (6H) – 3-piece

The TECWERK hand tap set M3 x 0.5 HSS ISO2 (6H) is a manual tapping solution for cutting metric M3 threads in general workshop and light industrial applications

• HSS material for durable cutting performance
• Metric M3 x 0.5 with ISO2 (6H) tolerance
• Suitable for through and blind holes in steels

Consistent assembly with standardised metric threads

The set delivers consistent M3 x 0.5 threads thanks to conformity with DIN 13 Blatt 1 and the ISO2 (6H) tolerance field, ensuring mating fasteners fit predictably. For production and repair work this means fewer rejected assemblies and faster alignment during assembly operations. The adherence to recognised standards reduces inspection time and simplifies documentation for quality control, contributing to a smoother production workflow without the need for complex post-processing.

Reliable cutting performance for medium-strength steels

Constructed from HSS, the taps are designed to cut in steels up to approximately 900 N/mm² tensile strength; the cutting geometry is right-hand. High-speed steel offers a balance of hardness and toughness, so chips form cleanly while the tool resists premature wear under normal tapping speeds. The 3.5 mm shank enables secure clamping in standard tap handles or adaptors, giving stable torque transfer and reduced wobble during manual operation. Basic lubrication and correct spindle alignment significantly extend service life.

Practical three-step design reduces rework and cycle time

The set comprises a progressive sequence of taper, intermediate and plug taps to split the cutting task into controlled stages. Beginning with a tapered lead reduces thread entry forces, the intermediate removes most material, and the plug produces the final thread to the ISO2 tolerance. This approach minimises tool breakage and lowers the risk of distorted threads in both through and blind holes, which is particularly beneficial in small-batch production and maintenance tasks. The compact set supports quick exchange and straightforward maintenance, helping workshops keep processes efficient.
