TECWERK machine tap M5 x 0.8, HSS‑Co — DIN 371B universal, vapour‑coated

The TECWERK machine tap M5 x 0.8 is a universal production tap designed for general machine tapping in a wide range of metalworking applications.

• High-performance HSS-Co construction
• Universal DIN 371B geometry
• Straight flute with flank relief
• Suitable for steel, stainless and non-ferrous

Faster, consistent results with cobalt high‑speed steel

The HSS‑Co composition combines the hardness of high‑speed steel with cobalt reinforcement to withstand elevated cutting temperatures and retain sharpness over longer runs. The vapour‑coated surface improves wear resistance, reducing tool changes and downtime in serial production. This blend of materials enables higher cutting speeds on many steels while keeping heat‑related wear under control, which benefits shops that require steady throughput and minimal rework. The tap name appears here as reference for specification matching.

Reliable thread form and clean chip evacuation

The tap follows the DIN 371B universal profile with a peel chamfer specifically for through threads, producing clean starts and reducing burr formation. Its straight flute design combined with flank relief improves chip flow out of the hole, supporting consistent thread geometry and lowering the risk of jamming in through‑hole operations. These geometry choices translate into fewer rejects and more predictable assembly fits for downstream processes.

Machine compatibility and secure toolholding

A shaft Ø 6 mm enables straightforward mounting in standard tapping holders and reduces vibration during automated runs. The robust shank and the tool’s universal type suit both CNC and dedicated tapping machines, making it a practical choice for workshops that aim to streamline tooling inventories. Built‑in features that support chip control also lessen the need for frequent manual intervention, saving operator time.

Broad material range and standardised thread fit

The tool is suitable for stainless steel, spheroidal cast iron and various non‑ferrous alloys, offering one solution across common workshop materials. The manufactured thread conforms to ISO2 (6H) tolerance, ensuring interchangeability and predictable assembly behaviour with standard metric fasteners. These characteristics make the tap a versatile asset for mixed‑material production environments backed by Metav Werkzeuge’s quality assurance.

FAQ

Which materials can this tap machine through reliably?
The TECWERK machine tap M5 x 0.8 is specified for use in steel, stainless steel, spheroidal cast iron and a range of non‑ferrous metals, giving flexibility across common workshop materials.

What fit and tolerance does the thread deliver?
Threads made by this tap conform to ISO2 (6H) tolerance, ensuring standard metric fit and interchangeability with corresponding bolts and nuts.

Is this tool intended for machine tapping or manual use?
As a machine tap with a 6 mm shank, it is optimised for use in machine holders and tapping attachments rather than hand‑only tapping.

How does the coating affect performance?
The vapour‑coated finish enhances wear resistance and reduces friction during cutting, extending tool life compared with uncoated equivalents while preserving thread quality.

What thread standard and application is this tap designed for?
The tool produces metric ISO threads to DIN 13 sheet 1 and features a peel chamfer for reliable creation of through threads in production settings.
