Hand Tap Set Art-Pol M6x1.00 mm, 2-piece

Two-piece hand tap set by Art-Pol for cutting internal threads with metric M6x1.00 mm pitch. Designed for manual tapping operations, the set includes the standard progression of taps needed to form and finish M6 threads in metals and other machinable materials. The compact kit is intended for workshop, maintenance and DIY tasks where accurate internal threading is required and space for tooling is limited.

Advantages

The Art-Pol hand tap set provides a simple, reliable solution for forming M6x1.00 mm internal threads manually. Its two-tap progression reduces the risk of chip clogging and facilitates controlled material removal. The compact size and straightforward design make the set easy to store and carry between workstations. The taps are suitable for use in a range of machinable materials when used with appropriate cutting fluid and correct tapping technique.

Suitable for

• Creating new M6x1.00 internal threads in metal parts
• Repairing damaged or worn M6 threads
• Workshop and general maintenance tasks
• Hobbyist and DIY projects requiring precise small-diameter threads

Key specifications

• Thread size and pitch: M6 x 1.00 mm
• Set composition: 2 hand taps (progressive stages for tapping)
• Intended use: manual hand tapping for internal threads
• Compatibility: suitable for use in steel, aluminium, brass and similar machinable materials when correct technique and lubrication are applied

How to use

Secure the workpiece and drill the correct clearance hole for M6x1.00 mm threads using the recommended drill size. Select the first (taper) tap and align it square to the hole, then turn by hand using a tap wrench, advancing a fraction of a turn and then reversing slightly to break chips. After reaching full depth with the taper tap, follow with the second (plug/finish) tap to complete and size the thread. Always use appropriate cutting fluid and maintain steady, even pressure to reduce tap breakage and improve thread quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a correctly sized drill for M6 threads, apply suitable cutting oil, and clear chips frequently. Avoid excessive force and ensure taps are perpendicular to the workpiece to prevent thread distortion or tap breakage.
