TECWERK hand tap DIN 352 No. 2, M3 x 0.5 mm HSS, ISO2 (6H) — right‑hand cutting, shank Ø 3.5 mm

A TECWERK hand tap DIN 352 No. 2 M3 x 0.5 mm designed for producing metric ISO threads in medium‑strength steels and workshop applications.

• HSS construction for long tool life
• DIN 352 geometry for hand tapping
• Metric ISO thread M3 x 0.5 mm
• Tolerance ISO2 (6H) for precise fits

Precision threading for reliable assemblies

The tap follows DIN 352 geometry and produces metric ISO threads to DIN 13, delivering a defined fit class ISO2 (6H) for consistent mating with standard nuts and threaded components. This tolerance class prioritises a precise clearance that reduces play while avoiding excessive interference, which is particularly important in serial assembly or repair work. The controlled thread form minimises reworking and supports predictable torque behaviour in finished joints.

Robust cutting performance and durability

Made from HSS, the tool offers a balance of hardness and toughness suitable for manual tapping operations; HSS resists wear and maintains cutting edges longer than general‑purpose carbon steels. The tap is specified for use in steels up to approx. 900 N/mm² tensile strength, which covers a wide range of common workshop materials. Right‑hand cutting geometry ensures conventional clockwise threading and reliable chip formation when used with appropriate cutting lubricant, promoting smooth cutting action and reduced risk of thread distortion.

Practical handling for workshop integration

With a shank Ø 3.5 mm, the tool is sized for compatibility with standard tap wrenches and small chucks used in bench operations. The tool’s designation as a hand tap implies that the flute design and cutting sequence are optimised for manual feed, providing predictable chip evacuation when used correctly. For thread preparation, follow standard pilot drilling recommendations to match the M3 x 0.5 mm nominal size; correct pilot preparation combined with suitable lubricant extends tool life and improves surface finish. For occasional production runs or maintenance work, the geometry supports repeatable results without specialised machinery.

FAQ

What materials is this hand tap suitable for?
The TECWERK hand tap is specified for use in steels up to approx. 900 N/mm² tensile strength and is manufactured from HSS to handle typical workshop steel grades.

What does the tolerance ISO2 (6H) mean for assembly?
ISO2 (6H) denotes a medium‑tight tolerance for metric threads, providing a secure fit with standard nuts and threaded parts while avoiding excessive interference in typical engineering assemblies.

Is the tap suitable for machine tapping?
This tool is designed to DIN 352 hand‑tap geometry; while it may be used in light‑duty machine setups, it is optimised for manual tapping and standard tap wrench use.

Which pilot drill size should be used before tapping M3 x 0.5 mm?
Follow the standard pilot drill recommendations for an M3 x 0.5 mm metric thread to ensure correct root diameter and best thread quality; appropriate pilot preparation reduces cutting forces and extends tool life.
