kwb 443006 HSS handdraadtap M6 x 1,0 DIN 352 voorsnijder, 1 stuk

For machinists and maintenance technicians cutting internal M6 threads by hand, the kwb 443006 is a taper tap made from high-speed steel. It starts the thread gradually, making it the first tap to use when tapping a blind or through hole.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6
• Thread pitch: 1.0 mm
• Standard: DIN 352
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Tap stage: Taper tap (first tap)
• Number of flutes: 3
• Shank type: Square drive
• Cutting edge type: Straight flute
• Surface finish: Bright (uncoated)
• Thread direction: Right-hand
• Thread profile: Metric coarse

Why choose it

The HSS construction holds an edge when threading steel, non-ferrous metals and plastics. The taper lead-in reduces cutting force at the start, which helps keep the tap centred and lowers the chance of breakage on the first few threads.

Ideal use cases

• Cutting new M6 threads in drilled holes
• Repairing damaged M6 threads
• Workshop and maintenance tasks on steel, aluminium or plastic

Good to know

This is a single taper tap. For a complete thread to the bottom of a blind hole, follow with a plug tap and then a bottoming tap of the same size. Use a suitable tap wrench with the square drive shank.
