Sandvik Coromant 8060157 Spiral Point Tap M6x1.00 Hss-e-pm

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 8060157 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in metric M6x1.00 applications. Built from powder-metallurgy high-speed steel (HSS-E-PM) with a TiAlN coating, this tap delivers elevated wear resistance and heat tolerance in demanding production environments. It carries a 6HX class of fit to DIN and ANSI standards, producing consistent metric threads with tight dimensional control. The plug chamfer eases entry into through-holes, and the 3-flute spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting edge, keeping the flutes clear during the cut. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and CNC operators install this tap in ferrous machining operations where thread quality and tool life are the primary concerns.

This tap is suited for through-hole threading in steel workpieces across general machining, production manufacturing, and maintenance-repair-overhaul settings. The TiAlN coating extends tool life when running at elevated speeds and temperatures, making it appropriate for both manual tapping and CNC rigid-tapping cycles. The Series T200-PM designation identifies it within the Sandvik Coromant T200 powder-metallurgy tap family. It is intended for right-hand metric threads in materials classified under ISO material grade P1PM, which covers unalloyed and low-alloy steels.

Key Features

• M6x1.00 metric thread, right-hand, 6HX class of fit to DIN and ANSI standards
• HSS-E-PM substrate provides higher toughness and wear resistance than standard HSS
• TiAlN coating extends tool life in steel at elevated cutting temperatures
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, suited for through-hole applications only
• Plug chamfer with 3 flutes for balanced cutting entry and chip flow
• No coolant-through requirement; compatible with external flood or minimal-quantity lubrication

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole threading in steel workpieces (ISO material grade P1PM). Belongs to the Sandvik Coromant Series T200-PM spiral point tap family. Confirm holder and machine spindle compatibility with 6 mm shank diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use by qualified machinists in CNC rigid-tapping or manual tapping applications. Power down and lock out the machine before loading or unloading the tap from its holder. Use a properly sized tap holder sized for a 6 mm shank to prevent runout and thread-quality issues. This is a through-hole-only tap — do not use in blind holes, as the spiral point geometry does not evacuate chips rearward.
