TECWERK machine tap DIN 376C – M16x2 HSS‑Co, ISO2 (6H)

The TECWERK M16x2 machine tap for metric ISO threads, designed for blind holes in steels and non‑ferrous materials

HSS‑Co high‑alloy cutting material
Universal Form C geometry, green ring
Right‑hand spiral 40° for efficient chip evacuation
Tolerance ISO2 (6H) for precision threads

High precision and consistent thread quality

The TECWERK machine tap is engineered for production environments where repeatability and conformity to standards matter. Its HSS‑Co composition offers higher red‑hardness than conventional high‑speed steel, which maintains cutting edge stability under elevated temperatures and prolonged use. The combination of Form C geometry and DIN 376C specification supports consistent thread profiles according to DIN 13, while the 6H tolerance field ensures compatibility with standard metric fasteners. This reduces rework and supports efficient process control.

Efficient chip control for blind‑hole threading

A right‑hand spiral 40° and flank relief geometry provide controlled chip flow away from the cutting zone, which is particularly valuable when producing blind hole threads. The spiral angle promotes upward chip removal into the flute instead of compacting at the base of the hole, lowering the risk of tap breakage and improving surface finish. The universal helix and ground flanks contribute to reliable chip segmentation, shortening cycle times and limiting tool change interventions in batch production.

Versatile material application and workplace benefits

Geometry and material selection make this threading tool suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials: steel, stainless steels, spheroidal graphite cast iron, and non‑ferrous metals are explicitly supported. For workshops consolidating suppliers, a single universal tap that handles diverse materials simplifies inventory and speeds up job changeovers. The vaporised coating enhances wear resistance and lubricity, helping to extend tool life under mixed‑material workloads and preserving thread quality across runs.

Machine compatibility and mounting details

The tool is manufactured to integrate with standard machine spindles and toolholding systems: the shank is specified as shank Ø12 mm, offering secure clamping and minimal run‑out when used with suitable holders. The metric ISO thread M16x2 format aligns with common mechanical engineering practice, enabling direct use in assemblies and fixtures that demand ISO‑compliant fastenings. The universal design reduces the need for multiple specialised taps, supporting smoother workflow planning and fewer tool changes.
