TECWERK machine tap MF 5x0.5mm (DIN 374 C) — HSS‑Co, tolerance 6H

The TECWERK machine tap MF 5x0.5mm is a purpose-built machine tapping tool for producing metric fine threads in blind holes and for use in demanding metalworking environments.

• HSS‑Co for extended tool life
• DIN 374C Form C geometry
• MF 5×0.5 mm fine thread, tolerance 6H
• Suitable for blind holes and tough steels

High-performance material for longer service life

The tool is made from HSS‑Co (cobalt high-speed steel), a material chosen for its superior hot hardness and abrasion resistance; this results in a longer useful life under cyclic thermal and mechanical loads. With a shank Ø 3.5 mm the component is compatible with common machine holders and tapping spindles, while the cobalt content supports machining at elevated cutting speeds; the combination of material and geometry reduces the frequency of tool changes and contributes to uninterrupted production cycles. Tool life extension is achieved through material selection and precise manufacturing tolerances.

Geometry engineered to secure thread quality in blind holes

Equipped with DIN 374C Form C geometry and a right-hand helix 40°, the tap offers reliable chip evacuation and controlled cutting action, which is particularly important when creating blind-hole threads. The flanks are relief-ground to lower cutting forces and improve thread form; the specified tolerance 6H ensures interchangeability and adherence to ISO metric fine-thread standards. For operators and process planners, this means predictable assembly behaviour and reduced rework arising from thread inaccuracies. The threading tool’s geometrics are optimised to balance chip formation and surface finish.

Designed for industrial use across a range of materials

This tapping tool is suitable for machining in steels up to approximately 1000 N/mm², temper-cast iron and long-chipping non-ferrous metals, delivering consistent thread geometry where robustness is required. The designation as an MF fine thread (MF 5×0.5 mm) makes the tool ideal for applications that demand compact, high‑strength fastenings. Process reliability is supported by precise manufacturing and controlled tolerances, which together minimise downtime and enhance throughput in shop-floor and production-line environments. Selection guidance and compatibility checks are recommended for integration into CNC or dedicated tapping machines.
