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.
