RUKO MGB-DIN376-HSSCo-vap.-M16x2.00mm Machine Tap

For machinists and metalworking professionals producing through-hole threads in steel, stainless steel, or cast iron, the RUKO GMBH MGB-DIN376-HSSCo-vap.-M16x2.00mm machine tap delivers reliable performance. Its spiral point design pushes chips forward, making it ideal for through holes in production environments.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16 x 2.00 mm (metric coarse)
• Standard: DIN 376
• Material: High-speed steel with cobalt (HSSCo)
• Surface treatment: Vaporized (steam tempered)
• Overall length: 100 mm
• Thread length: 30 mm
• Shank diameter: 12.0 mm
• Square drive size: 9.0 mm
• Flute type: Spiral point (Form C)
• Cutting direction: Right-hand
• Tolerance class: ISO 2 (6H)

Why choose it

The cobalt-enriched high-speed steel provides enhanced wear resistance and heat resistance, allowing the tap to maintain sharpness when machining tougher materials. The vaporized surface treatment reduces friction and improves chip flow, resulting in cleaner threads and longer tool life.

Ideal use cases

• Creating M16 through-hole threads in steel components up to 1000 N/mm² tensile strength
• Threading stainless steel parts in job shops or maintenance departments
• Production tapping of cast iron housings and flanges

Good to know

The spiral point geometry eliminates the need for frequent tool retraction to break chips, making it efficient for high-volume operations. The tool is part of the MGB series and is manufactured by Gühring.
