TECWERK machine tap DIN 374C – MF16 x 1.5, HSS‑Co, 6H

TECWERK machine tap for creating metric ISO fine threads MF16 x 1.5 in blind holes, optimised for steels and non‑ferrous alloys

• HSS‑Co for wear resistance and heat tolerance
• 40° right‑hand spiral for efficient chip control
• ISO fine thread MF16×1.5, tolerance 6H
• Vapourised surface for improved service life

Consistent fine‑thread accuracy for reliable assemblies

The ISO fine thread MF16 x 1.5 specification paired with the 6H tolerance (DIN 13) ensures repeatable, high‑precision mating in production and repair work. This level of dimensional control reduces the risk of assembly issues and scrap, improving throughput and lowering rework rates. The universal geometry translates DIN‑defined parameters into a tool that supports consistent thread quality across batches, making process planning and quality assurance simpler.

Robust material and coating for extended tool life

Manufactured from HSS‑Co, the tap offers enhanced toughness and temperature resistance compared with standard high‑speed steels, which helps sustain cutting edges when machining tougher alloys. The vapourised finish adds a wear‑resistant layer that reduces friction and sticking; identification by the green ring facilitates quick tool selection at the bench. Together these characteristics deliver longer service intervals and fewer tool changes, supporting continuous machining operations.

Engineered geometry for blind‑hole performance and chip control

The right‑hand spiral 40° and relieved flanks promote controlled chip flow when producing blind holes, where evacuation is critical to avoid chip packing and tap breakage. The Form C / universal flute profile balances strength and evacuation, enabling reliable performance across a range of materials. For applications that require secure blind‑hole threading, this design reduces cycle interruptions and increases process confidence.

Practical workshop integration and material versatility

With a 12 mm shank and the universal Form C designation, the tool fits common collet and chuck‑based tapping heads, simplifying retrofit into existing set‑ups. The tap is suitable for steel, stainless steel, spheroidal graphite cast iron and non‑ferrous metals, giving procurement teams a single, versatile tool for mixed‑material shops. By conforming to established standards, it also eases inspection and documentation in quality management systems.
