TECWERK Machine Tap DIN 371B — M6 x 1 mm, HSS‑Co with TiN coating

The TECWERK Machine Tap DIN 371B M6 x 1 mm is a universal-form B metric tap for producing ISO threads in through-holes across steels and non-ferrous metals.

• Cobalt HSS for improved wear resistance
• TiN coating extends tool life
• Universal Form B, straight flute design

Consistent, high-efficiency threading for production use

The HSS‑Co substrate combined with a TiN coating delivers a balance of toughness and wear resistance that supports higher cutting speeds and extended tool life. This results in fewer tool changes and less downtime in repetitive production runs, which improves throughput and reduces unit costs. The straight flute geometry and Form B profile offer good chip evacuation in through-hole threading, while the 6H tolerance (ISO2) ensures threads meet standard fit requirements for interchangeable components. The overall design favours efficient machining on conventional tapping heads and automated tapping stations.

Precision and material versatility for reliable assemblies

Thanks to the metric DIN 13 specification and the honed flanks, the tap produces clean, dimensionally stable threads suitable for assemblies where fit and function are critical. The tool is specified for use with steel, stainless steels, spheroidal graphite cast iron and non‑ferrous metals, covering a broad range of workshop and industrial applications. The inclusion of a dedicated cutting chamfer for through threads reduces the tendency to form burrs, so mating parts assemble smoothly. The 6 mm shank provides stable clamping for machine spindles and collet fixtures.

Practical handling and lifecycle benefits that matter on the shop floor

Marked with a green ring for easy identification, the tap features flanks honed to improve thread finish and reduce chatter. These features contribute to predictable wear patterns and make tool life more manageable for procurement and maintenance planning. Using appropriate coolant and correct spindle alignment preserves the TiN coating and cutting geometry, extending the interval between regrinds or replacements. The universal nature of the tool simplifies tool management in mixed-material production environments, lowering inventory complexity.
