TECWERK machine tap DIN 374C MF16×1.5 HSS‑Co 6H — HSS‑Co, 40° spiral

A TECWERK machine tap DIN 374C MF16×1.5 HSS‑Co 6H engineered for accurate metric ISO fine‑thread production in blind holes, compliant with DIN 13 and specified for industrial machining tasks

• HSS‑Co construction for higher hot hardness
• 40° right‑hand spiral for effective chip removal
• Designed for blind holes; metric ISO fine thread
• Shank Ø 12 mm for secure machine clamping

Consistent fine‑thread quality for production runs

The tap is designed to form metric ISO fine threads (MF16×1.5) to DIN 13 standards with 6H tolerance, providing consistent thread geometry for serial production. The combination of HSS‑Co material and flank honing reduces thread burrs and minimises rework, leading to fewer rejects and predictable assembly behaviour. This reliability supports tighter production tolerances and helps maintain throughput in machining cells.

Optimised chip control improves process stability

A 40° right‑hand spiral promotes efficient chip evacuation when working in blind holes, reducing the risk of chip clogging and tool breakage. The form C geometry with flanks hinterschliffen (flank honing) smooths the cutting edge, extending useful tool life and ensuring cleaner thread finishes. For operations producing long chips from non‑ferrous metals or temper cast iron, this geometry gives a measurable advantage in cycle consistency.

Material capability and metallurgical benefits explained

Made from HSS‑Co, the tap offers improved hot hardness and wear resistance compared with standard high‑speed steel, making it suitable for steels up to approx. 1000 N/mm² tensile strength as well as temper cast iron and long‑chip non‑ferrous alloys. The cobalt alloying element maintains cutting performance at elevated temperatures, so tapping cycles remain stable under demanding conditions. This metallurgical choice reduces frequency of tool changes and supports higher productive spindle speeds where applicable.

Secure clamping and machine compatibility for reliable results

A 12 mm shank diameter ensures secure clamping in standard toolholders and collets, providing concentricity for accurate thread form and reduced run‑out. The tool’s machine‑tap design is optimised for automatic machining centres and tapping heads; the robust shank and central geometry support repeatable placement and minimal set‑up time. For procurement, the combination of material specification, spiral geometry and shank size delivers a pragmatic balance of durability and ease of integration into existing workflows.
