M2x0.4mm Machine Tap 2xD HSS-Co PM Hardlube Straight Flute, DIN 371 6HX - TECWERK

Benefit from the combination of HSS‑Co PM construction, HARDLUBE coating and a DIN 371 2×D form for efficient, long‑lasting M2 threading; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our advisors for tailored support.

TECWERK Machine tap DIN 371B, M2 x 0.4 mm — HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE, 2×D

The TECWERK machine tap DIN 371B M2 x 0.4 mm is a universal, straight‑fluted machine tap designed for metric ISO threads and general workshop and production use.

• HSS‑Co PM for extended wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating reduces friction and heat
• Straight‑fluted design for reliable chip flow
• Peel chamfer for clean through threads

Greater throughput with durable tool life

The combination of HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgy high‑speed steel) and a HARDLUBE surface treatment delivers a measurable improvement in tool life and process stability. The substrate metal provides elevated wear resistance and toughness under intermittent loading, while the coating reduces friction at the cutting edge to limit heat build‑up. For production environments this translates into fewer tool changes and a steadier output, supporting continuous operation and lower per‑thread cost. The tool’s DIN 371 2×D length and robust construction are aimed at repeatable threading tasks where consistent performance is required.

Consistent, precise thread form every time

Optimised cutting geometry and rounded cutting edges improve chip formation and reduce thread distortion, resulting in reliable thread profiles to metric ISO standards. The tap is manufactured to a 6HX tolerance, compatible with DIN 13 sheet 1 requirements, which makes it suitable for assemblies where fit and functional clearance are critical. The included peel chamfer (Schälanschnitt) is specifically intended for through threads and helps to control the lead‑in and chip separation, producing cleaner starts and reducing the risk of thread faults. Such design choices lower scrap rates and enhance first‑pass yield on threaded components.

Flexible use across common workshop materials

This threading cutter is specified for universal application: steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper alloys and castings are all within its intended scope. The straight‑fluted geometry aids chip evacuation in mixed‑material batches and when using short‑run machining setups. With a shank diameter of 2.8 mm and right‑hand cutting direction, the tool integrates easily into standard tapping holders and automatic tapping spindles. For operators with varying material mixes, the tap offers a reliable compromise between generality and performance, reducing the need for multiple specialised tapping grades.
