TASCAM TAP M16 DIN-376C R15 (6HX) HSSE-PM TS 1400 machine-tap

Threading through holes in tough materials like steel and stainless steel demands a tap that can endure high stress without sacrificing precision. The TASCAM TAP M16 DIN-376C R15 (6HX) HSSE-PM TS 1400 answers that call with a powder metallurgy HSSE-PM substrate enriched with cobalt, coated in TS1400 for exceptional wear resistance and heat management. Its spiral point design pushes chips forward, preventing clogging and ensuring clean, accurate M16 threads in one pass.

Who is it for

This machine tap is built for professional machinists, metalworking shops, and maintenance teams who regularly thread through holes in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. It suits CNC machines, machining centers, and manual setups where reliability and thread quality are non-negotiable.

Main features

• M16 metric coarse thread with 2.0 mm pitch, DIN 376 standard

Tips

Use a suitable cutting fluid to maximize tool life and thread finish. Ensure the hole is drilled to the correct size for M16 (typically 14 mm for 75% thread engagement). For best results, align the tap perpendicular to the workpiece and apply steady feed pressure.
