Guhring 9041220060000 Spiral Point Tap M6 X 1 Tin

Product Description

The GUHRING 9041220060000 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in metric coarse applications. Built from powdered metal and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tap delivers improved wear resistance and tool life compared to standard high-speed steel options. It features a plug chamfer, 3 flutes, and a 6H thread class with D4/D5 thread limit, producing M6 x 1 threads with consistent dimensional accuracy. At 3.15 inches overall length with a 0.255-inch shank diameter, it fits standard tap holders and is suited for use in high-tensile steel applications.

This tap is intended for through-hole threading operations in production and maintenance environments where M6 x 1 metric coarse threads are required. It is designed for use in high-tensile steel materials, making it appropriate for machining, fabrication, and industrial maintenance work. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone, keeping the flutes clear during through-hole passes. It is sold individually and appropriate for use in CNC tapping cycles or hand-tap applications with proper alignment.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 metric coarse thread form with 6H class of fit and D4/D5 thread limit
• Powdered metal construction for increased hardness and wear resistance over standard HSS
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in high-tensile steel
• Plug chamfer for standard through-hole entry and thread lead-in
• 3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward for clean through-hole threading
• Right-hand thread direction; no coolant-through requirement

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole threading in high-tensile steel workpieces requiring M6 x 1 metric coarse threads; compatible with standard tap holders accepting a 0.255-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tap should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with tapping operations. Secure the workpiece and ensure proper alignment between the tap and the drilled pilot hole before beginning the tapping cycle. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping lubricant for high-tensile steel to reduce heat and tool wear. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges show damage.
