Threading tap KWB 443005 High-Speed Steel 48mm 6mm shank

The KWB 443005 threading tap is a high-quality tool manufactured from high-speed steel, designed to provide durability and precision when creating internal threads. With a total length of 48mm and a working length of 1.6cm, this tool is engineered for consistent performance in various materials. The 6mm shank diameter ensures compatibility with standard tap holders, making it a versatile choice for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts.

Advantages

This threading tap is crafted from high-strength, roll-rolled high-speed steel, which guarantees long-lasting durability and high performance during operation. The precision-ground design complies with the DIN 352 standard, ensuring high accuracy for every thread cut. Its robust construction allows it to be used effectively for both manual hand tapping and machine-assisted applications, providing flexibility for different workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Creating precise internal threads in metal
• Threading operations in plastic materials
• Manual tapping using standard tap holders
• Machine-based tapping applications

When it may not be suitable

This tool is specifically designed for standard threading tasks and may not be suitable for hardened steels or exotic alloys that require specialized carbide tooling. It is also not intended for use in impact-driven tools, as this could damage the precision-ground threads.

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel
• Total length: 48mm
• Working length: 1.6cm
• Shank diameter: 6mm
• Standard: DIN 352

How to use

To use the threading tap, ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent movement. Align the tap perfectly perpendicular to the hole to avoid cross-threading. Apply a suitable cutting oil to the tap to reduce friction and heat buildup during the process. Begin by rotating the tap clockwise into the hole, backing it off slightly every half-turn to break the chips. Continue this process until the desired thread depth is achieved, then carefully reverse the tap to remove it from the hole.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required thread size for your specific project
• Ensure your tap holder is compatible with a 6mm shank
• Check that the material you are threading is compatible with high-speed steel tools

Usage recommendations

Always use a high-quality cutting oil when tapping to extend the life of the tool and ensure a clean, professional thread finish.
