Threading tap KWB 443008 High-Speed Steel 56mm 6mm

The KWB 443008 threading tap is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with roll-rolled processing to provide durability and consistent cutting performance. With an overall length of 56 mm, a working length of 22 mm and a shank diameter of 6 mm, this tap is designed for creating precise internal threads in metals and plastics. The precision-ground flute complies with DIN 352 and the tap can be used for both hand and machine tapping, making it suitable for a wide range of workshop and on-site applications.

Advantages

The HSS material and roll-rolled manufacturing ensure high wear resistance and stable cutting edges. Precision grinding to DIN 352 guarantees accurate thread geometry, while the 6 mm shank and standard dimensions make the tap compatible with common tool holders and tap wrenches. Suitable for hand and machine use, it delivers reliable results across repeated operations.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal threads in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Threading holes in plastic components
• General workshop and maintenance tapping tasks
• Use with tap wrenches and machine tapping fixtures

How to use

Select the correct drill size for the desired thread, clamp the workpiece securely, and align the tap perpendicular to the hole. Apply suitable cutting fluid for metal tapping or appropriate lubricant for plastics. Start tapping by hand to ensure correct engagement, then proceed with steady, even turns; if using a machine, set low speed and monitor feed to avoid overloading. Retract periodically to clear chips and maintain thread quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use appropriate cutting fluid when tapping metals and reduce speed for stainless steel. Replace the tap if cutting edges show wear or chipping to prevent poor thread quality. Store the tap in a dry place to avoid corrosion.
