M1.6 x 0.35 mm Metric Hand Tap Set (3-Piece) DIN 352 6H HSS

This M1.6 x 0.35 mm metric hand tap set is designed for precise manual threading in a variety of materials. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) to DIN 352 standard, the set includes three taps (taper, plug, and bottoming) to cover all stages of thread cutting. The bright finish and straight flute design ensure clean, accurate threads with minimal effort.

Advantages

High-speed steel construction provides excellent wear resistance and durability. The three-tap set allows for progressive cutting: taper for starting, plug for intermediate, and bottoming for threads close to the bottom of a blind hole. The square drive shank is compatible with standard tap wrenches.

Suitable for

• Manual threading of M1.6 metric threads in general purpose steels, non-ferrous metals, and cast iron
