Overview:
The Metric Tap M6 x 1.00 Taper Cut is a single-piece steel hand tap for accurate thread cutting in metal components. Manufactured by Volkel, it uses straight flutes and conforms to ISO metric thread requirements to DIN 13, helping you achieve consistent, reliable M6 x 1.00 threads. The taper lead eases alignment and reduces the risk of cross-threading when starting a hole, making it well suited to controlled hand use. Pair it with a tap wrench or a guided tapping stand for precise workshop results on benches or on site. Suitable for common metals such as mild steel, aluminium, and brass in general fabrication, repair, and maintenance. Supplied individually for easy replacements. Manufacturer Part Number: 804/038A.
