Guhring 9008230060000 Spiral Flute Tap M6x1 Cobalt

Product Description

The GUHRING 9008230060000 is a cobalt spiral flute tap designed for blind hole threading in steel and hardened materials. Built to Metric M6x1 specifications with a 6H class of fit, it produces accurate internal threads in demanding workpiece materials including case-hardened steel, heat-treatable steel, and tool steel. The 40-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation up and out of the hole, which is critical in blind hole applications. With a straw finish and D4 D5 thread limit, this tap is suited for precision threading work where dimensional consistency is required. Overall length is 3.1496 inches. Installation and use are intended for qualified machinists and toolroom professionals.

This tap is part of GUHRING Series 823 and is configured for blind hole threading in Metric M6x1 applications. It carries a right-hand thread and right-hand flute direction, making it compatible with standard right-hand tapping operations. Primary workpiece materials include steel and hardened materials with material codes P and H. The fast flute style supports efficient chip flow in tough ferrous materials. Coolant-through capability is not present on this tool.

Key Features

• M6x1 Metric thread, 6H class of fit with D4 D5 thread limit for dimensional accuracy
• Cobalt construction provides heat resistance and durability in hardened and alloy steels
• 40-degree helix angle with fast flute style promotes upward chip evacuation in blind holes
• Modified bottoming chamfer allows threading closer to the bottom of a blind hole
• Straw finish reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous applications
• Right-hand thread and right-hand flute direction for standard tapping machine compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for blind hole threading in steel, case-hardened steel, heat-treatable steel, and tool steel workpieces classified under material codes P and H. Suitable for use in standard M6x1 tapping operations requiring 6H class of fit tolerances.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by qualified machinists following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned with the pilot hole before beginning the threading operation. Use an appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material to extend tool life and protect thread quality. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the tapping machine or hand tap wrench for this tap size.
