Take advantage of a robust HSSE cutting grade, a quick-change 6.3 mm (1/4") hex shank and ISO2 tolerance for consistently accurate M6 threads — order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application guidance.

VÖLKEL Machine Tap Bit HSSE M6 × 1.00 mm pitch, 1/4" Hex Shank

The VÖLKEL Machine Tap Bit HSSE M6×1.00 is a machine-grade tap bit designed for through-threading in unalloyed and low-alloy steels, optimised for production use.

• HSSE cutting material for high wear resistance
• 6.3 mm (1/4") hex shank for quick-change holders
• Form B, DIN 371 specification for machine tapping
• For unalloyed and low-alloy steels up to 900 N/mm²

Increased throughput with durable HSSE construction

The tap bit uses HSSE cutting material to deliver extended tool life under continuous production cycles. The harder, heat-resistant alloy maintains cutting edges longer than standard high-speed steels, reducing the frequency of tool changes and downtime. That durability translates into measurable productivity gains on bench and CNC tapping units where repetitive M6 threading is required.

Consistent M6 threads thanks to ISO2 tolerance and peel-cut geometry

Built to produce metric ISO threads with M6 dimensions and a 1.00 mm pitch, the tool is manufactured to ISO2 (6H) tolerance for reliable interchangeability of fasteners. The peel-cut geometry for through-threads reduces cutting forces and produces controllable chips, which helps maintain thread form and minimises rework in serial production. These design choices ensure repeatable thread quality in assembly-critical parts.

Fast tool changes and machine compatibility

The integrated 6.3 mm (1/4") hex shank allows direct use with quick-change bit holders and standard machine adaptors, simplifying set-up and reducing spindle idle time. The Form B execution and compliance with DIN 371 make the bit suitable for common machine-tapping operations; the compact body and 80 mm overall length provide a balanced combination of reach and rigidity for shop-floor tasks.

Application range and practical advantages for workshop and production

Intended for general use in machinable materials up to 900 N/mm², the bit is appropriate for unalloyed and low-alloy steels commonly encountered in maintenance and production environments. Packaged individually for easy inventory control, the tool supports a pragmatic approach to tooling: select hardened, application-matched cutting grades and stable geometry to lower scrap rates and extend component life — a cost-effective way to maintain quality across multiple batches.
