How the type B through-hole chamfer pushes chips down the hole
Chips exit at the bottom instead of returning through the thread
The type B through-hole chamfer has a chip breaker at the tip of the tap – an angled notch in the cutting edges. The chip breaker directs chips down the hole, ahead of the tap tip. The chips curl into a spring shape, break into short pieces and exit the hole on the other side of the workpiece. The threads already cut remain clean because the chips do not pass through them on their way up. The M16 x2 tap has a reduced shank to DIN 376: diameter 12 mm, square size 9 mm.
1
Straight flute – chips do not enter it; the flute carries lubricant to the cutting edges.
2
The chip breaker at the tip of the tap directs chips down the hole.
3
The tap rotates clockwise to cut a right-hand thread.
4
B chamfer: 3.5–5.5 incomplete threads on the entry taper.
5
The chips break into segments: individual pieces at the top of the hole, with progressively more farther down. They fall out below the workpiece.

M16 machine tap for through holes – cobalt HSSE with a long shank DIN 376
The manufacturer offers an M16 machine tap for through holes made of HSSE high-speed steel with 5% cobalt for professional applications in series production and maintenance. M16 is among the most common metric thread sizes used in machine building, steel structures, and heavy industry requiring reliable threaded joints. The long shank in accordance with DIN 376 provides increased clamping rigidity and improved tool guidance when tapping large diameters in deep holes. The tool is intended for professional toolrooms, maintenance departments, and CNC operators.
Technical specifications of the M16 machine tap for through holes
- Popular M16 size widely used in machine building, steel structures, heavy industry, and series production requiring reliable threaded joints
- Long shank to DIN 376 provides greater clamping rigidity and improved tool guidance, which is essential when tapping M16 diameters in deep holes
- HSSE steel with 5% cobalt guarantees a hardness of 65-67 HRC and heat resistance up to 650°C, extending cutting edge life under intensive use
- Tolerance 6H according to DIN 376 ensures precise thread production and full interchangeability with fasteners used in the machinery and construction industries
- Compatibility with ER25 and ER32 tool holders and tapping heads for CNC machining centers with synchronous tapping and automatic compensation
- Metric pitch of 2 mm in accordance with DIN 13 for M16 coarse threads, with a recommended tap drill diameter of 14 mm for optimum thread engagement
The M16 machine tap for through holes is used in series production, heavy machine building, and maintenance departments for repairs and thread restoration in mechanical components. Form B with straight flutes ensures efficient forward chip evacuation. The tool requires cooling with an oil emulsion at a minimum concentration of 8-10% to maintain optimum tool life.

Frequently asked questions
The M16 HSSE tap performs well in structural steels up to 800 MPa, alloy steels, austenitic stainless steels 304/316, gray and ductile cast iron, aluminum, and brass.
The recommended tap drill diameter for the M16 coarse thread is 14 mm. Accurate hole preparation ensures a full thread profile and minimizes the load on the tap.
With proper cooling, the M16 HSSE tap cuts 300-500 threads in structural steel and 150-250 threads in stainless steel. Dry operation reduces tool life by 30-40%.
