Machine tap DIN 376B H M16×2 mm HSS‑Co 6H — TECWERK

Machine tap DIN 376B H M16×2 mm HSS‑Co 6H is a heavy-duty machine tap engineered for producing metric ISO internal threads in high-strength steels on industrial tapping machines.

• Cobalt high-speed steel (HSS‑Co) for wear resistance
• Straight flute for controlled chip evacuation
• Metric ISO thread M16×2 mm, tolerance 6H
• Shank Ø 12 mm for stable clamping

Built for high-strength materials and extended production runs

The HSS‑Co composition provides elevated red hardness and abrasion resistance, making this machine tap suitable for machining steels with tensile strengths >1000 N/mm². The shear-cutting chamfer reduces axial cutting forces on entry for through threads, producing cleaner starts and lowering the risk of breakage. Reduced tool wear translates into fewer tool changes and longer uninterrupted cycles, improving throughput on high-volume tapping operations.

Precise, standardised threads that simplify assembly

The tool forms a M16×2 mm metric ISO thread in accordance with DIN 13 Blatt 1, delivering a consistent internal fit in tolerance 6H. The 6H tolerance class is a commonly specified internal thread clearance that balances manufacturability with reliable screw engagement, helping to minimise rework and ensuring interchangeability with standard fasteners. This predictability supports quality control and repeatable assembly results.

Geometry and mounting tailored for machine use

A straight flute geometry combined with flank relief ground cutting edges improves chip control and prevents clogging in continuous or automated tapping processes. The shank Ø 12 mm and Form B Type H designation comply with toolholder standards per DIN 376B, enabling secure clamping and accurate concentricity in machine spindles. Visual identification features aid quick tool selection at the machine station, contributing to efficient tool management.

FAQ

Which materials is this machine tap suitable for?
The TECWERK machine tap (DIN 376B, M16×2 mm) is designed primarily for difficult-to-machine steels with tensile strength >1000 N/mm², offering the required hardness and edge stability for such applications.

What thread accuracy and standard does the tap achieve?
The tap produces a metric M16×2 mm thread to DIN 13 Blatt 1 and a tolerance of ISO2 (6H), providing a reliable internal fit for standardised assemblies.

Is the tap intended for through threads or blind holes?
This tool features a shear-cutting chamfer for through threads, optimised for clean entry and controlled chip formation when tapping all the way through a workpiece.

What are the mounting requirements for machine use?
The tap has a shank Ø 12 mm and conforms to Form B Type H dimensions under DIN 376B, ensuring compatible and secure clamping in standard machine tool holders.

How does the HSS‑Co material improve tool life?
The cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel maintains hardness at elevated temperatures and offers enhanced abrasion resistance, so the tap sustains cutting performance longer under heavy-duty or high-speed conditions.
