HSSE M2 Machine Tap, Metric Coarse, DIN 352, 6HX, for Stainless Steel, 3 Flutes

Precision hand tap for cutting metric coarse threads in stainless steel and high-alloy steels. The HSSE cobalt steel construction delivers superior hardness and heat resistance, ensuring clean threads and extended tool life even under demanding conditions.

Advantages

The 6HX tolerance class guarantees threads that meet strict dimensional standards, while the ground thread profile ensures smooth cutting action and accurate pitch. The bright finish reduces friction and helps prevent chip welding, especially in stainless steel. With three flutes, this tap provides efficient chip evacuation in both through and blind holes.

Suitable for

• Stainless steel (INOX) components
• High-alloy steel workpieces
• Through holes and blind holes
• Manual tapping operations
• Maintenance and repair tasks
