Thread Tap FANAR GWINTOWNIK M6 DIN 376C (6H) HSSE 800

FANAR GWINTOWNIK M6 DIN 376C (6H) HSSE 800 is a cutting tool designed for producing internal metric threads M6 to DIN 376C standard. Manufactured from high-speed steel with cobalt (HSSE 800), this tap is suitable for both hand and machine tapping operations and is intended for use on a range of metallic materials. The tool delivers consistent thread geometry compatible with tolerance class 6H and is intended for repair, maintenance and light to medium production applications.

Advantages

The HSSE 800 material provides increased hardness and improved wear resistance compared with standard high-speed steel, extending tool life when cutting ferrous alloys and harder materials. The DIN 376C geometry ensures reliable chip formation and evacuation for internal threads, while the designation for hand or machine use gives flexibility in workshop and on-site situations. The tap’s dimensional conformity to M6 and 6H tolerance supports accurate fastening and interchangeability with standard metric bolts.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M6 threads in steel and alloy components
• Repair and maintenance of machinery and equipment requiring M6 fasteners
• Small to medium batch production of threaded parts
• Hand tapping and machine tapping operations

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6
• Thread standard and form: DIN 376C
• Tolerance class: 6H
• Material: high-speed steel with cobalt (HSSE 800)
• Intended use: internal thread cutting (tap) for hand or machine

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure the hole is drilled to the correct tapping drill size for M6. Use appropriate cutting fluid compatible with the workpiece material to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. For hand tapping, align the tap perpendicular to the workpiece, advance with steady pressure and back off periodically to clear chips. For machine tapping, select suitable spindle speed and feed according to material and machine recommendations and monitor torque to avoid breakage. Inspect the thread after tapping to confirm dimensional accuracy and full thread engagement.

Usage recommendations

Use HSSE 800 taps with suitable cutting lubricant when working with hardened steels or alloys; reduce feed rates and use pecking cycle or frequent reversal to clear chips when machining deep or blind holes. Store the tool in a protective case to avoid edge damage and inspect before use for signs of wear or chipping.
