Tap set Topex 14A206 manual taps M6 3 pieces

Topex manual tap set 14A206 contains three M6 taps designed for cutting internal metric threads by hand. The set is intended for manual tapping operations in metals and other machinable materials where M6 threads are required. It is suitable for creating new M6 threaded holes or restoring worn threads during repair, maintenance and general workshop or DIY work.

Advantages

The three-piece set provides a progression of taps for starting, threading, and finishing M6 holes, allowing controlled chip evacuation and reduced risk of tap breakage during hand use. Each tap in the Topex 14A206 set is sized for compatibility with standard M6 thread profiles, enabling consistent thread form and fit. The compact set design is convenient for storage in a toolbox and for carrying to job sites for maintenance and on-site repairs.

Suitable for

• Hand tapping M6 threads in mild and medium-hard metals
• Repairing or restoring damaged M6 threaded holes
• Light workshop, hobby and DIY metalworking tasks
• On-site maintenance where power tapping is impractical

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6 (metric)
• Quantity: 3 taps
• Intended operation: manual/hand tapping
• Application materials: metals and other machinable materials suitable for hand taps
• Packaging: compact set suitable for toolbox storage

How to use

Select the appropriate tap from the set (typically starting with the taper or starter tap, then intermediate, then bottoming/finishing tap) according to the hole depth and material. Secure workpiece and drill a pilot hole of the recommended diameter for M6 threads. Apply a suitable cutting lubricant to the drill hole and to the tap. Hold the tap square to the hole and turn by hand using a tap wrench, advancing a few turns and then reversing slightly to break chips. Continue until the desired thread depth is reached, then remove the tap and clean chips and lubricant from the threaded hole.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate hand torque to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Ensure correct pilot hole diameter for M6 threads and keep the tap perpendicular to the workpiece to reduce risk of tap damage or misaligned threads.
