Machine tap DIN 376B M16 x 2 mm HSS‑Co TiN 6H TECWERK — precision machine tap for metric through threads

A Machine tap DIN 376B M16 x 2 mm HSS‑Co TiN 6H TECWERK is engineered for high‑duty production use, delivering accurate metric threads on steels up to 1000 N/mm² with industrial interchangeability and long tool life.

• HSS‑Co for improved heat resistance
• TiN coating extends tool life
• Form B straight flute for stable chip control
• ISO2 (6H) tolerance for precise metric threads

Dependable thread accuracy for production environments

The M16 x 2 mm machine tap meets DIN 13 sheet 1 standards and is manufactured to ISO2 (6H) tolerance, ensuring threads are within industrial interchangeability limits. This precision reduces rework and assembly issues on mass production runs, where consistency is critical. The specification for ISO2 provides a tight tolerance class commonly used in mechanical engineering and serial production, making the tool suitable for components that must mate precisely with standard nuts or threaded fittings. Using a tool designed to these standards simplifies quality control and fits seamlessly into existing inspection routines.

Longer life and process stability through material and coating

Constructed from HSS‑Co (cobalt high‑speed steel) and finished with a TiN coating, the tap offers improved hot hardness and wear resistance compared with conventional HSS. The combination increases resistance to heat and abrasion during high‑speed tapping cycles, which translates into fewer tool changes and lower per‑part tooling costs. For operations that prioritise throughput, this means more uninterrupted production time and predictable tool change intervals. The material and coating selection is particularly effective when machining medium‑strength steels up to 1000 N/mm², where elevated temperatures can shorten the life of untreated tools.

Controlled chip formation and reliable through‑thread performance

The tool’s Form B design with a straight flute promotes consistent chip evacuation in through threading operations, while the flanks are relief ground to reduce friction and minimise thread distortion. A specifically designed chamfer for through threads (Schälanschnitt) provides a progressive cutting action that eases engagement and lowers the risk of chip packing at the start of the thread. These characteristics enhance process reliability on automated tapping units and machining centres, helping to avoid breakages and minimise scrap—key benefits for production and toolroom environments.

Practical integration for workshops and production lines

With a 12 mm shank the tap fits standard toolholders and collets, allowing quick installation on tapping heads and CNC machines. The tool’s suitability for a range of steels and its industrial tolerance class make it a versatile choice for maintenance, fabrication and serial production. Buyers focused on predictable output will value the tool’s combination of durability and precision, which helps to keep fixtures, gauges and mating components within specification without constant adjustments.

FAQ

What materials is this tap suitable for?
The tap is suitable for machining steels up to 1000 N/mm²; the TECWERK M16 x 2 mm tool combines HSS‑Co and TiN for enhanced performance on medium‑strength alloys.

What does ISO2 (6H) tolerance mean for the finished thread?
ISO2 (6H) indicates a tight tolerance class for metric internal threads, ensuring the threads produced by this TECWERK machine tap meet industrial interchangeability standards.

Is this tap intended for through threads or blind holes?
The tap features a chamfer for through threads, optimised for cutting full‑depth through threads; it is primarily designed for through‑hole applications.

How does the TiN coating affect tool life?
The TiN coating reduces abrasion and surface wear, increasing the number of holes that can be tapped before tool change is required with the TECWERK tap.

What is the shank size and how does it integrate with tooling?
The tool has a 12 mm shank, compatible with standard collets and tapping heads used in production and workshop environments.
