M18x2.5mm Machine Tap HSS-Co Form B Straight Flute ISO Metric 6H, 14mm Shank - TECWERK

Take advantage of the combination of HSS‑Co construction, precise ISO2 (6H) tolerance and a straight‑fluted Form B geometry for reliable, repeatable thread production; order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or contact their consultants for specification advice.

TECWERK M18×2.5mm machine tap (DIN 376B) — HSS‑Co, ISO2 (6H)

The TECWERK M18×2.5mm machine tap (DIN 376B) is a straight‑fluted, HSS‑Co cutting tool engineered to produce metric ISO threads in through holes for workshop and industrial tapping operations.

• HSS‑Co for increased wear resistance
• Straight flute with flank honing for clean cuts
• ISO2 (6H) tolerance for accurate mating threads
• Shank Ø 14 mm for secure clamping

Accurate threads for reliable assemblies

This machine tap is designed to deliver consistent thread form in accordance with DIN standards, making it suitable where close tolerances matter. The ISO2 (6H) tolerance and reference to DIN 13 Blatt 1 ensure the internal thread matches standard fasteners, reducing rework and assembly rejects. For customers requiring traceable conformity, the tool’s standard compliance supports predictable fits and simplifies quality control procedures.

Robust material and cutting geometry for longer tool life

Constructed from HSS‑Co, the tap offers improved heat and wear resistance compared with conventional high‑speed steels, which translates into longer life under interrupted or demanding cuts. The straight‑fluted design combined with flank honing stabilises chip formation and improves surface finish; flank honing here means the cutting edges are subtly modified to produce smoother engagement and reduced burr formation, a practical benefit for downstream processes.

Stable clamping and machine compatibility to speed production

A shank diameter of 14 mm provides a secure interface with collets and taper holders commonly found in industrial tapping heads and machining centres, improving runout behaviour and process stability. With the Form B geometry and a dedicated chamfer for through threads, the tap is optimised for continuous machine use where quick cycle times and predictable performance are priorities. The product name is indicative of machine‑grade tooling suitable for automated tapping stations.

Application scope and material recommendations

The tool is specified for use in steels up to approx. 900 N/mm² tensile strength, covering the majority of construction and engineering steels encountered in general manufacture and maintenance. The straight‑flute Form B is particularly effective for through holes where chips can evacuate freely; this reduces the risk of chip packing and allows a focus on throughput without compromising thread quality. For other materials or specialised alloys, consult technical data to confirm suitability.
