B-KIDS Machine Tap M16 DIN 376 C R40 (6H) HSSE HL INOX

The B-KIDS Machine Tap M16 DIN 376 C R40 (6H) HSSE HL INOX is a high-performance threading tool designed for precision tapping in stainless steel. Manufactured from premium HSSE (High-Speed Steel with Cobalt), this tap offers exceptional wear resistance and heat tolerance, ensuring long service life even in demanding applications. The spiral flute (HL - Helix Left) design efficiently evacuates chips, making it ideal for through-hole threading. With a chamfer form C (2-3 threads lead), it provides smooth entry and reduces cutting forces. The tap conforms to DIN 376 standard and features a bright surface finish optimized for INOX materials.

Advantages

This tap delivers clean, accurate threads in stainless steel, reducing the risk of breakage and improving productivity. The cobalt alloy enhances hardness and heat resistance, while the spiral flute design ensures reliable chip removal. The R40 series is engineered for high-speed machining, offering consistent performance and extended tool life.
