Usage
The Jeu de tarauds acier rapides M16 is designed for creating or repairing internal metric threads (M16) in metalworking applications, suitable for use by professionals and advanced DIY users working with steel, aluminum, copper, and brass.
Advantages
- Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for enhanced durability and wear resistance
- Complies with ISO 529 / DIN 376 standards to ensure precise thread quality
- Suitable for both hand and machine tapping operations
- Straight flute geometry allows consistent chip evacuation in through holes
- Tapered chamfer supports smoother thread starting and reduces breakage risk when beginning new threads
Specifications
- Design & Material: High-speed steel construction; straight flute; right-hand cutting direction; bright finish surface treatment[3][4]
- Tolerances & Standards: Manufactured to ISO529 / DIN376 standards; thread tolerance class ISO3/6G[4]
- M16 Thread Details: Nominal diameter: 16 mm; pitch: 2.0 mm; overall length: approx. 102–110 mm; shank diameter: approx. 12 mm[3][4]; tapping drill size required: Ø14 mm[1][3]
- Differentiating Feature: Designed with a straight shank for compatibility with standard tap wrenches or machine holders, making it versatile across workshop setups[3][4]
How it works
This tap cuts internal metric threads of size M16 by being rotated into a pre-drilled hole of Ø14 mm. As the tool advances, its HSS cutting edges form precise screw threads suitable for mechanical fasteners or assembly components.[1][3][4]
