Machine thread tap DIN 376B VA M16×2 HSS‑Co, nitrided and vapour‑coated — TECWERK

Machine thread tap DIN 376B VA M16×2 HSS‑Co, nitrided and vapour‑coated — a high‑performance machine tap designed for producing ISO metric threads in stainless and heat‑resistant steels.

• Cobalt high‑speed steel HSS‑Co
• Nitrided and vapour‑coated surface
• Straight fluted for clean chip removal
• ISO metric M16×2, tolerance ISO2 (6H)

Consistent thread quality for demanding materials

The tool delivers precise ISO metric threads thanks to its DIN 376B specification and ISO2 (6H) tolerance class, reducing rework and ensuring interchangeability. Constructed from HSS‑Co, the tap maintains cutting edge integrity under the stresses of machining harder alloys. The combination of nitrided and vapour‑coated surfaces improves wear resistance and reduces friction, which contributes to stable thread form and repeatable results across production batches.

Efficient chip control and longer service intervals

A straight fluted geometry with relieved flanks provides reliable chip formation and evacuation during through threading, while the integrated cutting chamfer for through threads minimises build‑up at the tool entry. These features reduce cycle times and extend intervals between tool changes, supporting a more economical machining process. The robust shank Ø 12 mm ensures secure clamping in standard holders and steady torque transmission for machine operations.

Application range and workshop integration

Specifically engineered for stainless, acid‑ and heat‑resistant steels with tensile strength above 850 N/mm², the tool is suitable for demanding production and repair tasks in industrial workshops. Its Form B (Type VA) design caters to applications where straight flutes and a clean thread finish are required. The tap is compatible with common tapping units and standard thread‑driving equipment, enabling straightforward integration into an existing workflow while preserving thread integrity and surface quality.
