RUKO HGB Hand Tap Set DIN 2181 MF16x1.0 mm HSS-G, 2 Pieces

Cutting precise M16 fine threads by hand in tough materials often means fighting dull taps, poor chip evacuation, or sets that lack the right tap for both through and blind holes. This RUKO hand tap set solves that with two precision-ground HSS-G taps matched to DIN 2181, giving you a reliable start and a clean finish in steels, malleable cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Who is it for

Machinists, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians who need to produce metric fine threads (MF16x1.0) with a tolerance class of ISO 2 (6H). The set is suited for general purpose threading in through and blind holes, whether in a workshop or on-site repair.

Main features

• Set of 2 hand taps: taper tap (Form A) for starting threads and plug tap (Form C) for threading closer to the bottom of blind holes.
• Metric fine thread M16 x 1.0 mm to DIN 2181, right-hand cutting.
• Made from HSS-G (high speed steel, ground) with a bright, uncoated finish for sharp cutting edges and good chip flow.
• Recommended pre-drill diameter: 15.0 mm.
• Suitable for steels up to 800 N/mm², malleable cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Tips

Use a suitable tapping lubricant and ensure the pre-drilled hole is perpendicular to the workpiece. For blind holes, start with the taper tap and finish with the plug tap to achieve full thread depth near the bottom.
