TECWERK machine tap DIN 374B MF 6×0.5 mm — HSS‑Co, Form B (straight flute)

A TECWERK machine tap DIN 374B MF 6×0.5 mm for producing ISO fine metric threads in production environments, engineered for through‑hole tapping in steels, malleable cast iron and long‑chipping non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co high‑cobalt construction
• Form B straight‑flute geometry
• ISO fine thread MF, tolerance 6H
• Shearing chamfer for through holes

Consistent fine‑thread quality for repeatable assemblies

The combination of HSS‑Co material and a 6H tolerance ensures high wear resistance and a reliable thread fit in serial production. The tool is made to the DIN 13 metric fine‑thread standard, so threads meet industry tolerances and mating components assemble without additional adjustment. The flanks are relief‑ground, which refines the thread flank form and reduces the need for post‑processing, delivering measurable time savings across batches.

Improved chip control and extended tool life

The Form B straight‑flute design provides predictable chip formation for long‑chipping materials, while the integrated shearing chamfer reduces thread burrs when tapping through holes. Together with the high‑cobalt substrate, these features support consistent chip evacuation and reduce seizure risk under continuous cycles. The result is fewer tool changes and less downtime, improving per‑part throughput and lowering unit costs.

Broad material compatibility for workshop flexibility

Rated for use in steels up to approx. 1000 N/mm², the tap is also suitable for malleable cast iron and long‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, making it a versatile choice for jobbing shops and production lines alike. Selecting this tool simplifies tooling lists where multiple materials are machined, reducing set‑up time and inventory complexity while maintaining process reliability.

Production‑ready design and machine integration

With a shank Ø 4.5 mm, this machine tap integrates cleanly into standard tapping fixtures and automatic spindles. The straight‑fluted, machine‑grade geometry is optimised for mechanical tapping operations, offering stable cutting and reduced axial thrust compared with less specialised tools. This enhances positional accuracy during threading and supports consistent cycle times in automated workflows.
