Machine thread tap DIN 376B AL M16×2 HSS‑Co 6H – TECWERK

A Machine thread tap DIN 376B AL M16×2 for high‑quality through threads in long‑chipping, soft materials, designed for machine tapping with straight flutes and a cutting chamfer for reliable chip evacuation

• HSS‑Co for increased wear resistance
• Straight‑fluted DIN 376B geometry
• ISO metric thread M16×2, tolerance 6H
• Shank Ø 12 mm for secure clamping

Accurate threads for demanding production runs

The machine tap is manufactured from HSS‑Co, a cobalt‑alloyed high‑speed steel that enhances hot‑hardness and wear resistance, ensuring consistent cutting performance under repeated use. The tap conforms to DIN 376B and the metric ISO thread specification, with a tolerance class 6H for the internal thread; this combination guarantees a precise fit with standard bolts and nuts, reducing rework and assembly time. Specifying a tap with ISO2 tolerance provides predictable clearance and interchangeability across components, which supports uninterrupted production and quality control processes.

Designed for long‑chipping, soft materials and through holes

The straight‑fluted, Type AL (Form B) geometry is purpose‑built for materials that produce long chips, such as some aluminium alloys and softer steels. The straight flutes guide chips away from the cutting zone rather than breaking them, which lowers the risk of chip jamming when producing through threads. The integrated cutting chamfer for through threads promotes smooth entry and exit, improving surface finish and reducing torque spikes during the thread‑forming pass. Combined with a shank Ø 12 mm, the tool offers stable clamping and reduced run‑out when used in standard machine tool holders.

Clean profile and controlled flank geometry for superior thread form

Flanks are relief‑ground to improve thread profile accuracy and diminish chatter, which delivers consistent lead and flank contact across the full thread length. The tap’s geometry and finish reduce cutting forces and heat generation, which extends tool life and maintains thread quality over larger batches. For purchasers seeking predictable machining outcomes, these design choices translate into fewer rejects and a more economical operation. As an experienced precision partner, Metav supports traceable product selection and ensures the supplied tools meet industry expectations for robustness and repeatability.

FAQ

What materials is this tap suitable for?
The TECWERK machine thread tap is designed primarily for long‑chipping, softer materials; its straight‑fluted geometry and cutting chamfer aid chip evacuation for through threads.

Is the thread tolerance compatible with standard nuts and bolts?
Yes, the tap produces an ISO metric thread M16×2 with tolerance 6H, which matches standard internal thread specifications for reliable assembly.

How is chip control achieved with this tool?
Chip control is managed through the straight‑fluted design and the cutting chamfer for through holes, allowing chips to be guided out of the hole and reducing the risk of jamming.

What clamping interface is recommended for stable operation?
A secure holder or collet that grips the shank Ø 12 mm is recommended to minimise run‑out and ensure repeatable thread quality during machine tapping.

Does the tool comply with recognised standards?
The tap follows DIN 376B geometry and the metric thread specification referenced in DIN 13 sheet 1, ensuring standardised thread form and interchangeability.
