TOTEM HSS TAP BIT M6 (FAA0201939)
Metric hand-tap set for creating internal threads of size M6 (6 mm diameter, 1.0 mm pitch).
Made from high-speed steel (HSS) for hardness, wear resistance, and durability.
Includes three taps: taper tap, intermediate tap, and bottom tap, covering the full threading process.
Uses / Advantages:
Creates new internal threads in steel, aluminium, brass, plastic, and other machinable materials.
Suitable for through-holes and blind-holes due to inclusion of bottom and taper taps.
Handy for workshops, garages, DIY jobs, fabrication, appliance repair, assembly, and mechanical maintenance.
Specifications:
Thread size: M6 × 1.0 mm (metric).
Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS).
Set includes: taper tap, intermediate tap, bottom tap (full-stage thread cutting).
Produces threads compatible with standard M6 bolts/screws.
Limitations / Notes:
Requires a proper pilot hole before tapping; for M6 the standard drill diameter is about 5 mm.
Use appropriate materials — very hard or hardened steels may need specialized taps.
Use cutting oil or lubrication while tapping to reduce heat and prolong tap life.
Threads must be cut straight; misalignment can damage taps or result in poor-quality threads.
