Take advantage of a universal, high-performance machine tap that combines HSS‑Co PM toughness with a HARDLUBE coating and optimised cutting geometry for longer tool life and reliable M6 threading; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

Machine tap DIN 371B Univ. M6 × 1 mm — HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE, 2×D (TECWERK)

The machine tap DIN 371B Univ. M6 × 1 mm offers universal metric threading for a wide range of metals and is designed for efficient, repeatable production use

• HSS‑Co PM for high wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating for reduced friction
• Universal form B for mixed materials
• Straight flute design, DIN 371, shank Ø 6 mm

Boosted productivity through durable cutting performance

The combination of HSS‑Co PM (powder‑metallurgy cobalt high‑speed steel) and a HARDLUBE surface treatment significantly extends tool life under continuous use. The optimised edge rounding and cutting geometry reduce chipping and support smoother chip formation, which in turn decreases downtime for tool changes and improves cycle times. For production environments seeking consistent M6 threads, this tap delivers measurable efficiency gains and lower replacement frequency.

One tool for many materials — versatility that streamlines stock

Designed as a universal tap in Form B, the tool covers machining in steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys and cast materials, reducing the need for multiple specialised taps. The straight‑flute layout aids chip evacuation in through holes, and the incorporated peel chamfer (shear chamfer) facilitates reliable starts and clean completion of through threads. By standardising on a single, high‑quality tap, procurement complexity is reduced and workbench organisation improved.

Standards and dimensions for predictable, compatible threads

Produced to DIN 371 length with a metric M6 × 1 mm thread in accordance with DIN 13, the tap adheres to established ISO thread practice and a 6HX tolerance field for reliable fits. The compact shank Ø 6 mm allows secure clamping in common collets and holders, while the right‑hand cutting direction matches standard machine setups. These precise specifications ensure compatibility with existing fixtures and make process planning straightforward for production and maintenance teams.

FAQ

What materials is this tap suitable for?
The machine tap is specified for universal use in steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, and cast materials, making it suitable for mixed‑material production tasks.

What thread form and tolerance does it produce?
The tap produces a metric ISO thread M6 × 1 mm to DIN 13 with a tolerance field of 6HX for standardised thread fits.

How does the HARDLUBE coating affect performance?
The HARDLUBE coating on this TECWERK machine tap reduces friction, improves chip flow and extends service life compared with uncoated tools.

What are the key dimensions to check for setup?
Key dimensions are shank diameter 6 mm, length to DIN 371 and a cutting length of 2×D; the tap cuts right‑hand threads.

Is the tap supplied individually or in sets?
The product is supplied as a single item (packaging unit: 1) under SKU 2000867980NW.
