Hand tap DIN 352 No.2 M16×2mm, HSS, ISO2 (6H) — TECWERK

The Hand tap DIN 352 No.2 M16×2mm HSS ISO2 (6H) is a right-hand cutting workshop tap for producing metric ISO threads, designed for manual tapping in steels up to approx. 900 N/mm².

• HSS material for robust cutting
• Metric ISO M16×2 thread to DIN 13
• Tolerance ISO2 (6H) for precision fits
• Suitable for steels up to 900 N/mm²

Consistent thread quality for dependable assemblies

Designed to meet recognised standards, this hand tap produces M16×2 metric threads to DIN 13 Blatt 1 with the precision of ISO2 (6H) tolerance. The combination of a standardised geometry and high-speed steel cutting edges ensures repeatable thread form and dimensional accuracy. This reduces rework and assembly issues, allowing mechanical fittings to meet specified clearances and torque requirements with confidence. The tap’s conformity to DIN 352 gives procurement certainty when specifying tooling for batch work or repairs.

Durable cutting performance for workshop environments

Made from HSS, the tool provides sustained cutting performance in manual operations and short production runs. The right-hand cutting design and stable flute geometry resist wear when tapping steels with tensile strength up to 900 N/mm², while the 12 mm shank gives a secure fit in tap holders or collets. These material and design choices translate into longer tool life and more consistent surface finish in the thread root, supporting predictable assembly behaviour and fewer rejects in daily workshop use.

Precision tolerances that simplify assembly processes

A tolerance of ISO2 (6H) means threads produced with this tap achieve the required clearances for mating bolts and nuts without additional finishing. For engineering teams this reduces measurement checks and fitting trials: components align more readily, and fasteners distribute loads as intended. Compliance with DIN 352 and metric ISO threading standards makes the tool a reliable option in mixed-standard environments, helping to standardise thread quality across different batches and operators.

Practical handling and safe manual use

The tap’s proportions and standard shank diameter allow straightforward mounting and comfortable manual operation. Correct tapping technique—adequate lubrication, incremental feed and reversal to clear chips—extends the tool’s service life and maintains thread quality. For users requiring guidance on selection, suitability for specific alloys or best-practice tapping parameters, Metav Werkzeuge provides practical advice and application support to ensure optimal results in the workshop.

FAQ

What materials can be tapped with this hand tap? This hand tap is designed for use in steels up to approximately 900 N/mm² tensile strength; the Hand tap DIN 352 No.2 M16x2mm HSS ISO2 (6H) TECWERK performs best in such steels.

What does ISO2 (6H) tolerance mean for the finished thread? ISO2 (6H) specifies a medium tolerance class for internal threads, giving a reliable fit for standard bolts and nuts without additional rework when the M16×2 thread is produced correctly.

How should the tap be mounted for manual use? Use a suitable tap wrench or a 12 mm collet holder that secures the 12 mm shank; ensure firm but controlled torque and use cutting fluid to improve chip evacuation and tool life.

Is this tap suitable for production or only for repairs? The tap is suitable for manual production runs and repair work; its HSS construction and standard geometry make it appropriate for repeated workshop use under correct operating conditions.

Can the hand tap be resharpened or recoated? Resharpening is possible for HSS taps depending on wear; assess the cutting edges and consult tool service experts for refurbishment options for the TECWERK tap.
