Machine tap DIN 376C Univ. M16×2 mm – HSS‑Co PM, HARDLUBE (TECWERK)

The Machine tap DIN 376C Univ. M16×2 mm is a universal machine tap designed for blind-hole threading and high-performance production in a range of common metals

• HSS‑Co PM for enhanced wear resistance
• HARDLUBE coating for reduced adhesion
• Right‑hand 40° spiral for blind threads
• Shank Ø 12 mm, DIN 376 form C

Consistent throughput through hardened wear resistance

The HSS‑Co PM substrate offers a high degree of microstructure stability under load, while the HARDLUBE surface treatment reduces friction and chip adhesion. Together these features lower tool wear and help maintain dimensional accuracy over longer runs; the result is fewer tool changes and reduced machine downtime. The 40° spiral geometry improves chip evacuation in blind hole applications, turning a demanding operation into a reproducible production step with predictable cycle times.

Reliable threads across common workshop materials

Designed for the M16×2 ISO metric thread, manufactured to DIN 13 sheet 1 with tolerance class 6HX, the tap delivers standard-compliant thread quality for assembly-critical parts. Material compatibility spans steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper alloys and cast iron, providing flexibility in mixed-production environments. The tolerance class ensures controlled internal diameters and a reliable fit for industry-standard fasteners, reducing scrap rates and inspection rework.

Machine-ready design for secure process integration

The tool follows DIN 376 dimensions with a nominal length of 2×D and a shank Ø 12 mm, facilitating secure clamping in standard machine holders and consistent alignment during automated cycles. Its Form C universal design and optimised cutting geometry support stable chip formation and smooth penetration in blind-hole tapping. Supplied as a single unit, the tap is intended for integration into organised tooling setups where predictable performance and repeatable quality are essential. Metav Werkzeuge’s position as a quality filter for the European market underpins reliable supply and documentation for production planning.

FAQ

Is this tap suitable for blind-hole threading?
The Machine tap DIN 376C Univ. M16×2 mm (TECWERK, SKU 2000867998NW) is specified for blind-hole threads and features a 40° spiral to aid chip evacuation in such applications.

Which materials can be machined with this tap?
This TECWERK tap is designed for universal use and is suitable for steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper alloys and cast iron as stated in the product data.

What does the tolerance class 6HX mean for assembled parts?
Tolerance class 6HX for the M16×2 thread indicates a standard internal thread fit with controlled minor diameter; it supports consistent assembly behaviour for fasteners manufactured to ISO metric standards.

How does the HARDLUBE coating benefit production?
The HARDLUBE coating reduces friction and chip adhesion, which helps to extend tool life and stabilise process windows, particularly in mixed-material production runs.

What are the key dimensions to consider for machine setup?
Relevant dimensions include the shank Ø 12 mm, the DIN 376 overall length (2×D) and the M16×2 thread form; these determine clamping and depth settings in machine tooling fixtures.
