Single‑cut thread tap HSS‑G, 1/4″ hex shank — EXACT M6 x 18 mm, self‑centring

Single‑cut thread tap HSS‑G, 1/4″ hex shank — EXACT is a compact metric tap designed for reliable M6 thread formation in production and workshop environments

• Ground HSS‑G cutting material
• Self‑centring geometry for fast alignment
• 6.3 mm (1/4") hex shank to DIN 3126
• 18 mm thread length, 39 mm overall

Consistent thread quality from ground HSS‑G

The tap combines ground high‑speed steel (HSS‑G) with a single‑cut geometry to deliver predictable chip formation and repeatable thread profiles. Ground HSS‑G offers a uniform cutting edge that reduces burr formation and supports a stable flank finish; this results in fewer reworks and a higher first‑pass yield. The specified M6 x 18 mm thread length provides adequate engagement for common metric fastenings while the compact profile supports tight assembly spaces.

Rapid clamping and secure drive for efficient changeovers

Equipped with a 6.3 mm (1/4") hex shank to DIN 3126, the tool fits quick‑change screwdriver and driver systems, enabling swift tool changes and reduced downtime in batch operations. The hex interface ensures positive torque transmission and limits slippage under load, which contributes to consistent thread depth and pitch. The self‑centring feature helps to position the tool accurately at the start of the hole, lowering the risk of cross‑threading and improving process reliability.

Compact design for versatile workshop use

With an overall length of 39 mm and a thread length of 18 mm, the cutter is suited to confined fixtures and stacked assemblies where space is restricted. The 4–5‑cut chamfer provides a progressive entry for the tap, aiding lead‑in and easing initial engagement. As a single‑cut tapping solution, it is particularly useful where a clean surface finish and controlled chip evacuation are priorities, and where operators value predictable handling characteristics during manual or machine tapping operations.
