TECWERK Machine Thread Tap DIN 371B – M5 x 0.8, HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE, 2xD

A TECWERK Machine Thread Tap DIN 371B M5 x 0.8 for universal machine threading in steel, stainless steel and non‑ferrous alloys, designed for consistent metric ISO threads.

• HSS‑Co PM for high wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating reduces friction
• Straight flutes for reliable chip evacuation
• DIN 371 Form B, 2xD length, 6 mm shank

Consistent metric threads for production work

The M5 x 0.8 specification conforms to DIN 371 and produces a metric ISO thread with 6HX tolerance, which yields reliable mating with standard nuts and parts. This tolerance class allows for predictable assembly clearances in serial production and reduces the need for post‑processing. The product name appears here as a clear reference for procurement and traceability. Using a tap specified to recognised standards supports process stability and easier quality control.

Built for durability and smoother cutting

Constructed from HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgical high‑speed steel with cobalt) the tool offers enhanced wear resistance, particularly under heavier loading and intermittent cutting. The HARDLUBE coating lowers friction at the cutting edge, which both improves surface finish and extends tool life. For workshops seeking fewer tool changes and reduced downtime, these material and coating choices translate directly into lower running costs and more consistent output.

Controlled chips and secure machining cycle

The straight flutes support effective chip evacuation in through‑tapping operations and reduce the risk of chip clogging when machining mixed batches. The 2xD geometry combined with a 6 mm shank and right‑hand cutting ensures compatibility with standard collets and holders on automatic tapping heads and machining centres. The integrated peel chamfer for through threads facilitates smooth entry and reduces torque peaks, helping to avoid breakage and to maintain cycle time.

Broad compatibility across common workshop materials

Designed as a universal tool (Form B), this tap suits machining in steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, and can also be applied to various cast materials where a machine tap is appropriate. The balanced cutting geometry and tolerance class provide dependable results across these substrates, so fewer specialised taps are required in mixed‑material production. For purchasers aiming to simplify inventory while keeping versatility, this tool offers a pragmatic compromise between performance and flexibility.

FAQ

What thread form and tolerance does this tap produce?
This tap produces an M5 x 0.8 metric ISO thread to DIN 371 with a 6HX tolerance, suitable for standard assembly fits and predictable mating.

Which materials are recommended for use with this machine tap?
The TECWERK DIN 371B tap is recommended for steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, and is also applicable for many cast materials when machine tapping is appropriate.

How does the HARDLUBE coating benefit machining?
The HARDLUBE coating reduces friction and heat at the cutting edge on the TECWERK tap, improving surface finish and extending tool life under typical production conditions.

Is this tap suitable for automatic tapping heads and CNC machines?
Yes; the 2xD length and 6 mm shank are compatible with standard collets and holders used in machine tapping, and the straight flute geometry supports reliable chip evacuation in automated cycles.
