Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than cut it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. This tap is manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a plug chamfer with 3 to 5 chamfered threads for gradual thread engagement. The overall length is 2.5 inches and the thread length is 1 inch. It is suited for use in ductile metals and is installed by machinists, tool and die tradespeople, and maintenance technicians working with metric fastener standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for through-hole threading in metric applications where a plug chamfer start is appropriate. The plug chamfer provides a balance between the starting ease of a taper tap and the bottoming capability of a bottoming tap, making it a general-purpose choice for production and maintenance threading operations. The D8 thread limit designation indicates the tolerance class, which is relevant when matching thread fit to mating fastener specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material rather than cutting, producing stronger threads with no chip evacuation required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM6x1 metric thread size with right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 3 to 5 chamfered threads for gradual thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in ductile metal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD8 thread limit for controlled tolerance fit to mating fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through feature; suited for conventional tapping with applied cutting fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard metric thread forming tap for through-hole M6x1 threading operations in ductile materials; consult tap drill charts for the correct forming tap hole diameter prior to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require a specific pre-drilled hole diameter that is larger than the equivalent cutting tap drill size; use the correct forming tap drill chart to avoid tap breakage or out-of-tolerance threads. Secure the workpiece and use a calibrated tap wrench or tapping head with appropriate tapping fluid for the workpiece material. Ensure the tap enters the hole perpendicular to the workpiece surface to maintain thread straightness. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements when power tapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 to 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.255 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1929 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: K010456AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742726062386,"sku":"K010456AS","price":31.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/581b5b5a5a229046320163fc0df68c2d.jpg?v=1788839106","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k010456as-thread-forming-tap-m6x1-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
