Machine Tap DIN 376B M16x2 HSS‑Co 6H – TECWERK

A Machine Tap DIN 376B M16x2 HSS‑Co 6H engineered for accurate cutting of metric ISO threads in medium‑strength steels.

• Cobalt‑alloy HSS for enhanced wear resistance
• Form B with straight flutes for reliable chip control
• ISO tolerance class 6H (ISO2) for accurate threads
• Shaft Ø 12 mm for secure machine clamping

Longer service life through cobalt‑alloy material

The HSS‑Co alloy used in this tool combines the cutting-edge hardness of high‑speed steel with improved thermal resistance from cobalt enrichment. This composition reduces flank wear under cyclic load and higher cutting temperatures, which translates into longer tool life and fewer tool changes in production environments. For operations where uptime and predictable maintenance intervals matter, the improved wear resistance reduces total running costs and supports a steadier production flow.

Reliable threads to DIN standards for interchangeability

Built to DIN 376B and following DIN 13 Blatt 1 principles, the tap produces M16x2 metric threads within the ISO2 (6H) tolerance field. That ensures consistent mating with standard components and avoids match‑fit issues in subsequent assembly. The tight tolerance control offered by this geometry supports precision applications where thread fit and repeatability are critical, providing a clear efficiency benefit during assembly and quality control processes.

Geometry optimised for chip formation and through threads

The Form B design with straight flutes and relieved flanks promotes predictable chip formation when cutting into carbon and alloy steels. A chamfered lead is provided specifically for through‑threading, facilitating safe chip evacuation and uniform thread starts. Rated for steels up to approximately 900 N/mm² tensile strength, the tool handles a wide range of workshop and industrial materials while preserving surface finish and dimensional accuracy during threading.

Machine‑ready shank and practical compatibility

Equipped with a shaft Ø 12 mm, the tap is ready for standard collet or chuck systems used in machining centres and dedicated tapping heads, enabling fast tool changes and reliable clamping. Supplied as a single unit (packaging unit: 1), the tool integrates easily into existing tooling sets and production plans. Combined with Metav Werkzeuge’s quality‑filter approach from Emmerich, the tool offers both traceability and dependable supply for series manufacture and maintenance tasks.
