Thread tap Wera Einschnittgewindebohrer M6 05104669001, M6 metric hand tap

Wera Einschnittgewindebohrer M6 (model 05104669001) is a metric M6 hand tap designed for cutting internal threads to a precise M6 specification. Manufactured by Wera, this hand tap is intended for manual tapping operations in materials compatible with standard M6 threads. It is suitable for maintenance, repair, and assembly tasks where accurate, repeatable M6 internal threads are required.

Advantages

The Wera M6 hand tap provides precise thread cutting with a consistent thread form suited to metric M6 fasteners. Being a single-piece hand tap, it offers straightforward use for manual tapping operations and good control when starting and running the tool. The design and material choice ensure durability and resistance to wear under normal hand-tapping conditions, and the geometry facilitates chip formation and evacuation in typical workshop materials.

Suitable for

• Creating M6 internal threads in repair and maintenance work
• Manual tapping during assembly of mechanical components
• Workshop and field applications where a hand tap is preferred
• Prototyping and small-series production that require metric M6 threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6 (metric)
• Type: hand tap (single-piece, Einschnitt style)
• Intended use: cutting internal threads manually
• Suitable materials: common metals and alloys compatible with hand tapping
• Typical form: metric thread profile for use with M6 bolts and screws

How to use

Secure the workpiece and drill the correct pilot hole for an M6 thread according to standard drilling charts. Clamp the hand tap in a suitable tap wrench, align it perpendicular to the hole, and apply steady pressure while turning clockwise to cut the thread. Use short reverse turns periodically to break and clear chips. Continue tapping until the desired thread depth is reached, then reverse the tap fully to remove it from the hole. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material if needed to improve chip flow and reduce wear.

Usage recommendations

Use correct pilot hole diameter and steady manual control to avoid cross-threading. Choose appropriate cutting lubricant for the material being tapped, clear chips frequently, and inspect threads after cutting to ensure proper fit with M6 fasteners.
