TECWERK Hand Tap M16 x 2 mm, HSS, ISO2 (6H) — DIN 352 No. 3

The TECWERK Hand Tap M16 x 2 mm is a manual metric threading tool designed for machining internal threads in steels up to approximately 900 N/mm², produced to DIN standards for reliable interchangeability

• HSS construction for durability and heat resistance
• Metric ISO thread M16 x 2 mm, ISO2 (6H)
• Conforms to DIN 352 No. 3 for hand taps
• Shank Ø 12 mm, right-hand cutting

Precision and material compatibility for fewer reworks

The tap is manufactured from HSS, offering a balanced combination of hardness and toughness that withstands intermittent heat during manual tapping. Its M16 x 2 mm metric profile and ISO2 (6H) tolerance ensure a standardised internal thread fit suitable for general assembly tasks. For workshops machining medium-strength steels, the specification "for steels up to approx. 900 N/mm²" provides a clear limit: this tool is optimised for carbon and alloy steels in typical workshop environments, reducing the risk of premature wear or thread failure. The result is predictable fitting behaviour and fewer rejected parts.

Faster, safer manual threading in everyday production

Designed as a hand tap to DIN 352 No. 3, this product simplifies manual threading operations without compromising accuracy. The shank Ø 12 mm is compatible with standard tap holders and drill chucks, enabling secure clamping during hand or slow-power tapping. The right-hand cutting geometry promotes efficient chip formation and evacuation when used with appropriate cutting fluid; this improves surface finish and lowers the likelihood of tap breakage. By using the correct pilot hole and lubrication, the workflow becomes more efficient, lowering labour time and rework rates in small-batch production.

Recognised standards and handling guidance to extend service life

Conformity with DIN 352 and reference to DIN 13 Part 1 for thread forms means the tap matches established engineering tolerances and thread profiles, facilitating interchangeability across parts and assemblies. Practically, follow the recommended drill size for the nominal M16 x 2 mm thread, apply a suitable lubrication for the material being machined, and use controlled, reversible feed for chip clearance. These handling measures, combined with the tap's HSS cutting material and standard tolerance class, contribute to consistent thread quality and extended tool life. The clear specification supports procurement decisions where traceability and standard compliance are priorities.

FAQ

What materials is this tap suitable for?
The TECWERK hand tap is specified for machining steels up to approximately 900 N/mm² and, being made of HSS, performs well on typical carbon and alloy steels under manual tapping conditions.

Which standards does the tool conform to?
The tap is produced to DIN 352 No. 3 and references DIN 13 Part 1 for the metric thread form; the tolerance is ISO2 (6H) for standard internal thread fits.

What hole preparation is recommended before tapping?
Use the recommended drill diameter for an M16 x 2 mm nominal thread, apply suitable lubrication for the work material, and ensure chip evacuation—these steps improve thread finish and reduce the risk of breakage when using the tap.

Can the tap be clamped in a tap holder or chuck?
Yes — the shank Ø 12 mm allows secure clamping in standard tap holders or drill chucks for controlled manual or slow-power tapping operations.

What is included in the packaging?
Packaging unit: 1; the article is supplied as a single hand tap under SKU 2000867179NW.
