Machine Tap DIN 374B MF5x0.5mm HSS‑Co 6H TECWERK – HSS‑Co fine‑thread tap, Form B (straight fluted)

The Machine Tap DIN 374B MF5x0.5mm HSS‑Co 6H TECWERK is engineered for accurate metric fine‑thread cutting in through‑hole applications across steels, malleable cast iron and long‑chipping non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co material for high wear resistance
• Form B straight flutes for secure chip evacuation
• Metric fine thread MF5x0.5mm, DIN 13, 6H
• Shank Ø 3.5 mm for machine mounting

Consistent thread quality through high‑performance material

The use of HSS‑Co (cobalt‑alloy high‑speed steel) ensures elevated hot‑hardness and wear resistance during repetitive tapping cycles, which translates into fewer tool changes and predictable component tolerances. The MF5x0.5mm specification indicates a metric fine‑thread profile according to DIN 13, while the 6H tolerance provides a standard internal fit that supports interchangeable parts without excessive clearance. These characteristics combine to reduce rejects and stabilise process capability in small‑diameter fine‑thread production.

Reliable geometry and efficient chip control for through holes

The Form B design with straight flutes and flanks that are relieved improves cutting engagement and stabilises the chip formation. A dedicated peeling cut for through threads (Schälanschnitt) assists reliable evacuation of chips through the flute channels, lowering the risk of tap breakage in continuous machining. The geometry is therefore particularly suited to machine tapping operations where consistent chip evacuation and tool life are decisive for cycle time and overall equipment effectiveness.

Practical application guidance and process benefits

Designed with a shank Ø 3.5 mm for secure clamping in standard tapping holders, the tool is suitable for use in machines where alignment and rigid mounting are controlled. The tap is specified for use in steels up to 1000 N/mm², temper‑cast iron and long‑chipping non‑ferrous alloys, so it fits mixed production environments that require a single, reliable threading strategy. For integration into production, pairing the tap with appropriate lubrication and correct spindle alignment yields the best balance of surface finish and tool life; technical advice and product matching are available from Metav Werkzeuge to support process optimisation.

FAQ

What materials can be threaded with this tap?
The Machine Tap DIN 374B MF5x0.5mm HSS‑Co 6H TECWERK is suitable for steels up to approx 1000 N/mm², temper cast iron and long‑chipping non‑ferrous metals.

Is this tool suitable for through‑hole tapping only?
The tap features a peeling cut for through threads and is optimised for through‑hole applications, though application specifics depend on machine setup.

What does the 6H tolerance mean for assembled parts?
A 6H tolerance denotes a standard internal thread class that ensures consistent fit and interchangeability for mating fasteners when produced to the same standard.

How should the tap be held in the machine?
Use a rigid tapping holder or collet compatible with a shank diameter of 3.5 mm and ensure correct axial alignment to avoid premature wear or breakage of the tool.

Can this tap be used for automated production runs?
Yes, the HSS‑Co construction and flute design support repetitive machine tapping cycles; pairing with correct lubrication and controlled parameters enhances tool life and process reliability.
