Guhring 9045650060000 Spiral Point Tap M6 X 1 Hss-e

Product Description

The GUHRING 9045650060000 is a spiral point tap designed for threading M6 X 1 metric holes in universal steel applications. It is manufactured from HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for improved toughness and wear resistance, and features a TiN (titanium nitride) coating that extends tool life and reduces friction during cutting. The tap measures 4.0 inches overall length with a shank diameter of 0.255 inches. With a 3-flute spiral point design, it pushes chips forward ahead of the cut, making it well-suited for through-hole tapping operations. This tap is installed by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance professionals in production and repair environments.

The 9045650060000 is designed for right-hand threading in metric M6 X 1 applications with a 6H class of fit, which is the standard tolerance for general-purpose metric fastener threads. Its universal steel material application rating makes it appropriate for a broad range of ferrous workpiece materials. Typical use scenarios include CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand tapping operations where consistent thread quality and reliable chip evacuation are required. This tap does not support coolant-through delivery.

Key Features

• M6 X 1 metric thread form with 6H class of fit for standard general-purpose tolerances
• HSS-E construction provides cobalt-enhanced toughness for demanding steel applications
• TiN coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance for extended tool life
• 3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, optimizing through-hole tapping performance
• 3 to 5 chamfer angle provides a moderate lead-in suitable for most through-hole conditions
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard threading operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement spiral point tap for M6 X 1 metric threading applications in universal steel; compatible with standard tap holders and collet chucks accepting a 0.255-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with threading operations. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap holder or chuck is properly tightened before operation. Use appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use and replace if chipping or thread quality degradation is observed.
