TECWERK machine tap DIN 374B MF16×1 mm, HSS‑Co, 6H

A TECWERK machine tap DIN 374B MF16×1 mm HSS‑Co 6H designed for producing metric ISO fine internal threads in through holes and for use in demanding workshop and industrial environments

• High‑performance HSS‑Co construction
• Straight flute, Form B geometry
• Metric ISO fine thread MF16×1 mm, DIN 13
• Shank Ø 12 mm for secure clamping

Consistent fine‑thread accuracy for critical assemblies

This tap delivers reproducible thread quality by combining a metric ISO fine thread geometry with tolerance class 6H according to DIN 13, ensuring compatibility with standard mating parts and gauges. The HSS‑Co material improves edge stability and heat resistance, which helps maintain thread form during extended runs. For purchasers seeking predictable results, the mix of proven standard compliance and robust tool steel yields reliable production tolerances and fewer rejects in serial tapping.

Robust cutting performance in a variety of materials

The Form B, straight flute design with relief‑ground flanks is optimised for chips to flow axially, making the tool well suited for steels up to approx. 1000 N/mm², temper cast iron and long‑chipping non‑ferrous metals. The cobalt alloy in HSS‑Co provides increased wear resistance and thermal stability compared with conventional high‑speed steels, extending tool life under intermittent higher loads. This combination reduces machine downtime and supports steady throughput in mixed‑material workshops.

Practical setup and processing guidance for reliable results

A clear advantage is the shank Ø 12 mm, which allows secure clamping in standard collets and tool holders, reducing chatter and runout. The tap features a cutting lead designed for through threads, easing chip evacuation in blind‑through holes and lowering the risk of thread damage. For best results, use correct clamping, moderate spindle feed aligned with the nominal pitch, and appropriate lubrication dependent on the workpiece material; these measures protect the cutting edges and ensure consistent thread geometry.

Integration into the workshop for long‑term efficiency

Suppliers such as Metav position this tool within a broader offering of precision workshop supplies, simplifying procurement and inventory management. The durable construction and standardised dimensions support interchangeability with common fixtures and thread‑checking equipment, yielding lower total cost of ownership through reduced regrinds and replacements. The product thus contributes to steady production flow and aligns with established quality assurance procedures.

FAQ

Which materials are suitable for this tap?
The TECWERK machine tap MF16×1 mm is suitable for steels up to approx. 1000 N/mm², temper cast iron and long‑chipping non‑ferrous metals as stated in the product specification.

Is this tap designed for through holes or blind holes?
This DIN 374B tap is supplied with a cutting lead intended for through threads, which supports effective chip evacuation in through‑hole applications.

What is the required clamping diameter?
The tool has a shank diameter of 12 mm, enabling secure clamping in common collets and standard tool holders.

What thread standard and tolerance does the tap produce?
The tap produces a metric ISO fine thread MF16×1 mm to DIN 13 with a 6H tolerance class for standardised mating with threaded components.

How does the HSS‑Co material benefit performance?
The cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel (HSS‑Co) increases thermal and wear resistance compared with standard HSS, improving edge life and stability under elevated cutting temperatures.
