6mm Machine HSS-Co Tap DIN 371B AL M6x1mm ISO2 6H Through Hole Spiral Flute - TECWERK

Take advantage of the high‑performance HSS‑Co composition and the dedicated peel cut for through holes to ensure reliable M6×1 thread production in long‑chip, soft materials; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or request assistance from the consultants for specification checks.

Machine tap DIN 371B AL M6×1 HSS‑Co 6H (TECWERK) — HSS‑Co, Form B, Type AL, straight flute

The machine tap DIN 371B AL M6×1 HSS‑Co 6H is a metric ISO thread tap for efficient production of M6×1 threads in through‑holes, optimised for long‑chip, soft materials and supplied with a 6 mm shank suitable for common holders

• HSS‑Co high‑performance material
• Peel cut for clean through holes
• Shank Ø 6 mm for universal holders

Precise, repeatable threads for industrial production

The tool delivers consistent M6×1 metric threads thanks to its conformity with DIN 371B and the ISO2 (6H) tolerance field, enabling predictable fits in serial production. The use of HSS‑Co increases wear resistance and hot hardness compared with standard high‑speed steels, which translates into longer tool life under elevated cutting temperatures. For production planners this means fewer tool changes and a steadier cycle time, supporting efficient throughput on both manual and CNC tapping operations.

Design features that reduce chip problems and breakage

Equipped with a peel cut specifically for through‑hole tapping and straight flutes, the tap promotes effective chip evacuation in long‑chip materials; this lowers the risk of chip jamming and reduces lateral forces in the thread, which in turn diminishes the likelihood of tool breakage. The tool’s flank relief further reduces friction on the cutting edges, improving surface finish and reducing torque spikes during engagement—advantages that directly benefit workshop safety and process reliability.

Practical compatibility with common workholding and materials

A 6 mm shank diameter provides straightforward clamping in standard collets and holders, making the tap easy to integrate into existing tool setups. The geometry and material selection are tuned for long‑chip, soft materials, so the tool is particularly suitable for aluminium alloys and similar substrates where chip control is critical. The designation Type AL and Form B describe the specific cut and geometry that favour these materials while maintaining the universal metric thread form.

Operational benefits and recommended use

Using a speciality tap with HSS‑Co composition reduces replacement frequency under demanding conditions, yielding a favourable cost‑to‑performance ratio in intensive applications. The tap’s conformity to recognised standards such as DIN 13 Sheet 1 ensures interchangeability and predictable mating with corresponding nuts and internal threads. For maintenance teams and toolrooms, the reduced downtime from longer tool life and fewer rework cycles supports a more consistent production schedule and lower indirect costs.

FAQ

What materials is this tap best suited for?
The TECWERK machine tap (DIN 371B AL M6×1 HSS‑Co 6H) is optimised for long‑chip, soft materials such as aluminium alloys where a peel cut and straight flutes aid chip control.

Is the tap suitable for through‑hole threads?
Yes, the tap features a peel cut specifically designed for clean and reliable through‑hole tapping in compatible materials.

What tolerance and thread standard does this tool produce?
Threads are produced to the ISO2 (6H) tolerance field and conform with metric standards referenced in DIN 13 Sheet 1 for predictable fits.

Can the tool be held in standard collets and holders?
The tool has a 6 mm shank diameter, making it compatible with common collets and universal tool holders used in workshops and production cells.

How does HSS‑Co benefit tool performance?
The HSS‑Co composition offers improved hot hardness and wear resistance compared with standard HSS, extending tool life under higher cutting temperatures and demanding cycles.
