Machine tap DIN 374B Univ. MF12x1.5 mm — HSS‑Co, Form B (TECWERK)

The Machine Tap DIN 374B Univ. MF12x1.5 mm is a universal, straight‑fluted machine tap designed for metric fine threads in a wide range of engineering materials.

• HSS‑Co for increased wear resistance
• Straight‑fluted Form B for reliable chip control
• Metric fine thread MF12x1.5 mm, tolerance ISO2 (6H)
• Shank Ø 9 mm, universal type

Consistent thread quality for serial production

The cobalt‑alloy high‑speed steel construction (HSS‑Co) delivers elevated hot hardness and abrasion resistance, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions in production. Combined with the Form B straight‑flute geometry, the tool supports controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing the risk of thread damage in through holes. This specification suits repetitive machining tasks where dimensional repeatability and surface integrity of internal threads are required, making it appropriate for batch and automated manufacturing environments.

Broad material compatibility for mixed workflows

Engineered for application across assorted substrates, the tap is specified for steel, stainless steels, spheroidal cast iron and non‑ferrous metals, enabling one tool to cover multiple workpieces in mixed‑material production. The universal designation and robust material choice minimise tool changes and lower tooling inventories, while the vapourised surface treatment enhances performance in abrasive or intermittent cutting conditions. The result is improved workflow efficiency and reduced handling between operations.

Precision standards that support assembly reliability

Manufactured to DIN 13 and finished to the metric fine thread form MF12x1.5 mm with tolerance ISO2 (6H), the tap provides defined dimensional and tolerance characteristics for high‑fit assemblies. Such standard compliance ensures interchangeability and predictable fit with mating parts, which is crucial where seal integrity, preload or positional accuracy are critical. Using a tool that complies with established thread standards reduces inspection effort and supports leaner quality assurance processes.

Tool geometry and handling advantages

The tool features straight flutes with relieved flanks, a green identification ring and a chamfer specifically for through threads, which facilitates chip flow and reduces entry torque at the start of threading. The shank Ø 9 mm supports compatibility with standard machine holders and reduces vibration when clamped correctly, while the universal design enables use across a range of machine setups. These geometric attributes combine to lower breakage risk and to simplify process planning for engineers and operators.

FAQ

Which materials is this tap suitable for?
The TECWERK machine tap is specified for steel, stainless steels, spheroidal cast iron and non‑ferrous metals, enabling flexible use across common industrial substrates.

Does the tap support through‑hole threading?
Yes, the tool includes a chamfer designed for through threads, improving chip evacuation and reducing start‑cutting forces when producing through holes.

What tolerance and standard does the thread meet?
Threads produced with this tap conform to DIN 13 and are finished to the metric fine thread size MF12x1.5 mm with ISO2 (6H) tolerance for consistent assembly fit.

What is the shank size and how does it affect clamping?
The shank diameter is 9 mm, a common size for machine holders; correct clamping of the 9 mm shank helps reduce vibration and supports repeatable machining results.

Is the tool suited for serial production and automated machines?
Built from HSS‑Co with a straight‑flute Form B design and vapourised treatment, the tap is well suited to serial production where wear resistance and controlled chip formation are priorities.
