Machine tap DIN 374B MF16×1.5 HSS‑Co, vapourised, 6H — TECWERK

The Machine tap DIN 374B MF16×1.5 HSS‑Co vapourised 6H TECWERK is a universal, straight-flute machine tap designed for cutting metric fine ISO threads in a wide range of metallic materials.

• HSS‑Co construction for higher wear resistance
• DIN 374B Form B, universal straight flute
• ISO fine thread MF16×1.5, tolerance field 6H
• Suitable for steel, stainless and non‑ferrous metals

Precision that secures interchangeability and fit

The tap is made from HSS‑Co, a cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel that maintains hardness at elevated temperatures, which translates into longer tool life and consistent thread form. Manufactured to DIN 374B and intended for MF16×1.5 metric fine threads, the tool meets the ISO2 (6H) tolerance requirement — ensuring thread compatibility with standard bolts and inserts. The vapourised coating reduces friction during cutting, helping to preserve flank geometry and reduce the risk of galling when machining stainless steels.

Designed for reliable chip control and repeatable quality

As a Form B universal tap with a straight flute and relieved flanks, the geometry supports dependable chip evacuation in through-thread applications. The integrated cutting chamfer for through threads reduces torque peaks during entry and minimizes the chance of tap breakage, which improves process uptime and reduces rework. A clearly identifiable green ring marks the tool family for quick selection in busy production environments, while the secure 12 mm shank ensures accurate clamping and concentricity in standard tap holders.

Practical integration for workshop and production use

The tool is supplied individually for direct installation into machine tap holders and is suited for machining steel, stainless steel, spheroidal cast iron and various non‑ferrous metals. For best results, match the drill pilot and use an appropriate lubricant or coolant for the material being tapped; this extends tool life and improves thread surface finish.

FAQ

What materials can be machined with this tap?
The TECWERK machine tap is suitable for steel, stainless steel, spheroidal cast iron and various non‑ferrous metals; the HSS‑Co composition and vapourised coating support robust performance across these materials.

What does the 6H tolerance mean for my threads?
A 6H tolerance corresponds to ISO internal thread tolerance class ISO2, which ensures standardised fit and interchangeability of the MF16×1.5 threads produced with this tap.

Which pilot hole diameter is recommended before tapping MF16×1.5?
Pilot diameter depends on thread standard and material; refer to engineering tables for MF16×1.5 pilot size. For application-specific recommendations, Metav Werkzeuge can advise based on part material and process.

Can the tap be used in automatic tapping heads or rigid tapping on CNC machines?
The DIN 374B universal design with a 12 mm shank is compatible with common machine tap holders and rigid tapping setups; ensure clamping is concentric and machine feed is synchronized for best results.

How does the vapourised coating affect tool life and performance?
The vapourised coating lowers friction and reduces adhesion on the cutting edges, which improves tool life and helps maintain thread quality, particularly when machining stainless or adhesive materials.
