Machine tap DIN 371C Univ. M3 x 0.5 mm HSS‑Co TiN 6H — TECWERK

The Machine tap DIN 371C Univ. M3 x 0.5 mm HSS‑Co TiN 6H TECWERK is a universal, TiN‑coated machine tap designed for metric ISO threads in blind holes across steels and non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co construction for high wear resistance
• TiN coating for extended tool life
• Designed for blind holes with 40° helix
• Tolerance ISO2 (6H) for precise metric threads

Durable cutting performance for high‑duty applications

The HSS‑Co substrate combines hardness and toughness to withstand elevated temperatures and intermittent cutting, which translates into fewer tool changes and reduced downtime. The TiN coating lowers friction and improves surface hardness, delivering longer tool life and better wear resistance compared with uncoated taps. For workshops aiming to sustain throughput while maintaining thread quality, the material and coating pairing reduces replacement frequency and supports consistent production cycles.

Accurate threads in blind holes with reduced rework

Configured to DIN standards and optimised for blind holes, this tap follows DIN 13 Sheet 1 and produces metric ISO threads to tolerance ISO2 (6H), ensuring interchangeability and reliable assembly performance. The 40° helix combined with flanks honed minimises chip packing and promotes clean evacuation in bottoming operations, which reduces the risk of thread damage and subsequent rework. These characteristics make the tool suitable for precise fastening tasks where thread conformity is essential.

Practical handling and broad material compatibility

As a Form C (universal) tool with a clear green ring marking and a shank Ø 3.5 mm, the tap integrates easily into manual and machine tapping workflows. The geometry and material composition are suitable for a wide range of workpieces, including steel, stainless steel, spheroidal cast iron and non‑ferrous metals, allowing a single tool type to cover multiple applications. The universal profile supports simplified tool inventory and faster process planning, which benefits workshops and industrial users seeking efficient tooling solutions.
