Guhring 9008160240000 Spiral Point Tap M24x3 Cobalt

Product Description

The GUHRING 9008160240000 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in metric applications. Built from cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish, it cuts M24 x 3.00 millimeter threads to a 6H class of fit with a D7/D8 thread limit. The plug chamfer geometry distributes cutting load across several leading threads, making it well suited for consistent thread production in steel workpieces. With an overall length of 160 millimeters and a shank diameter of 18 millimeters, this 4-flute tap is sized for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and rigid tapping operations handled by machinists and tool and die professionals.

This tap is intended for through-hole threading in steel materials. The spiral point design pushes chips forward ahead of the tap rather than packing them in the flutes, which reduces the risk of chip clogging during production runs. It is appropriate for use in general metalworking, maintenance and repair operations, and production machining environments where metric fastener threads are required. Right-hand thread direction matches standard right-hand tooling setups without additional configuration.

Key Features

• M24 x 3.00 metric thread size with 6H class of fit
• Cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance in steel applications
• 4-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward for cleaner through-hole threading
• Plug chamfer distributes cutting load across multiple leading threads
• D7/D8 thread limit for consistent tolerance control
• Bright finish with no coating buildup affecting thread dimension

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production tap for through-hole metric threading applications in steel. Compatible with standard tapping chucks and rigid tap holders accepting an 18-millimeter shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tap should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tapping procedures. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are properly secured before beginning the tapping cycle. Use appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for steel to extend tool life and maintain thread quality. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if damage is observed to avoid thread damage or tap breakage.
