FANAR M3 Machine Tap DIN 371 6HX HSSE-PM TiCN Through Hole

This M3 machine tap delivers reliable thread cutting in through holes, combining powder metallurgy HSSE-PM steel with a TiCN coating for high hardness and wear resistance. Its 6HX tolerance class ensures precise metric threads, while the reinforced shank and straight flutes provide stability and efficient chip evacuation in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Advantages

The HSSE-PM substrate with cobalt offers superior toughness and heat resistance, extending tool life under demanding conditions. The TiCN coating reduces friction and prevents built-up edge, resulting in smoother threads and higher cutting speeds. The straight flute design is optimized for through holes, allowing chips to flow forward and preventing clogging. The reinforced shank increases rigidity, minimizing deflection and improving thread accuracy.
