How a spiral flute tap evacuates chips from a blind hole
The 35° flute works like a screw conveyor
The flutes of this tap follow a right-hand helix at an angle of 35° to the axis. The tap rotates clockwise and advances into the hole. Chips cut by the chamfer enter the flute, and the helix carries them upward like the screw in a meat grinder. The bottom of the hole stays clean, and the cutting edges do not encounter packed chips. The M6 x1 tap has a reduced shank according to DIN 376: diameter 4.5 mm, square size 3.4 mm.
M6 spiral flute machine tap – with long shank, DIN 376
The long-shank tap series for deep tapping includes the M6 spiral flute machine tap to DIN 376. The 6H tolerance ensures the dimensional repeatability required in series production of mechanical components. HSSE steel with 5% cobalt provides a hardness of 65-67 HRC and heat resistance up to 650°C in the cutting zone. The 35° spiral flute directs chips backward when tapping blind holes in deep pockets and hard-to-reach areas.
Why choose the M6 spiral flute machine tap
- Compliance with DIN 376 confirms manufacturing quality and ensures standardized long-shank dimensions compatible with European machine tool holders
- Designed for deep tapping includes pockets in housings, holes in injection molds, and components with limited access
- Tolerance class 6H precision guarantees full thread interchangeability and dimensional repeatability in high-volume production of precision components
- Durability of HSSE steel with 5% cobalt allows operation at temperatures up to 650°C without loss of the cutting edge's mechanical properties
- Form C chamfer for blind holes allows tapping close to the bottom of the hole with a minimal incomplete thread length of 2-3 pitches
- Compatibility with ER16 and ER20 tool holders and tapping chucks with axial compensation for CNC machining centers
The M6 spiral flute tap is used in toolrooms and injection mold manufacturing for CNC machining of components with limited access. The standard pitch of the M6 thread is 1 mm, with a tap drill diameter of 5 mm. The tool works with standard coolant emulsions and tapping oils.

Frequently asked questions
The M6 HSSE spiral flute machine tap to DIN 376 is suitable for structural steels up to 900 MPa, stainless steels, aluminum, and brass. The long shank enables tapping in deep pockets and holes with restricted access.
For an M6x1 thread of tolerance class 6H, the recommended tap drill diameter is 5 mm. The hole tolerance range should be 5.0 to 5.15 mm. Exceeding the upper limit results in an incomplete thread profile.
Yes, cooling with an oil emulsion at a minimum concentration of 8% or with tapping oil is recommended and extends tool life by a factor of 2-3. Intensive cooling is required when machining stainless steels, while aluminum can be tapped with minimal lubrication.
