Guhring 9010910060000 M6x1.00 Bottoming Hand Tap Ticn Hss

Product Description

The GUHRING 9010910060000 is an M6x1.00 bottoming hand tap designed for blind hole threading in metric applications. It is manufactured from high speed steel with a TiCN coating that extends cutting edge life and reduces friction during tapping operations. The tap features a 3-flute straight flute geometry, a right-hand thread direction, and a 6HX class of fit with thread limits D5 and D6. Overall length is 80 millimeters. Through-coolant capability supports higher-productivity tapping in CNC or machine-tap setups where coolant delivery is available. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance mechanics working in production or job-shop environments are the typical users.

This tap is suited for blind hole threading in materials including aluminum, cast iron, steel, and hardened steel. The bottoming chamfer style allows threads to be cut close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it the correct choice when full thread depth is required near the hole floor. The Series 1091 designation identifies it within the GUHRING standard tap program. It is appropriate for both hand tapping operations and machine tapping setups that use a tap wrench or floating holder with square drive engagement.

Key Features

• Bottoming chamfer for maximum thread depth in blind holes
• TiCN coating improves wear resistance and reduces built-up edge on non-ferrous and ferrous materials
• Through-coolant design supports elevated feed rates in machine tapping applications
• 3-flute straight flute geometry provides balanced cutting action on the square drive shank
• 6HX class of fit with D5/D6 thread limits for standard metric tolerance requirements
• Compatible with aluminum, cast iron, steel, and hardened steel workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for M6x1.00 metric blind hole threading applications requiring a 6HX class of fit. Compatible with tapping chucks, floating holders, and hand tap wrenches that accept a 4.90 millimeter square drive. Material application includes aluminum, cast iron, steel, and hardened steel as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Machinists and maintenance mechanics should ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for M6x1.00 before tapping. For machine tapping, use a floating holder to minimize axial force and prevent tap breakage. When using the through-coolant feature, verify that coolant pressure and flow rate are appropriate for the machine spindle. Always back the tap out periodically when hand tapping in steel or cast iron to break the chip and clear the flutes.
