Product Specification

 1. Introduction: The Universal M6 Standard

The M6 x 1.0 is the most widely utilized metric fastener size globally, essential for automotive assembly, furniture manufacturing, and general machinery. Our DIN 352 M6 Hand Tap Set provides a professional-grade solution for creating high-precision internal threads in manual operations.

By employing the traditional 3-piece sequence (Taper, Plug, and Bottoming), this set allows for gradual material removal. This is critical for maintaining thread verticality and reducing the torque load, which prevents tool breakage even in tougher industrial alloys.

2. Advanced Manufacturing Process 

• Genuine High-Speed Steel: Forged from premium HSS-M2 (AISI M2) or HSS-4341, ensuring high red hardness and wear resistance.
• Fully Ground Technology: Every tap is Precision Ground from a solid hardened blank. This ensures zero surface decarburization, sharper cutting edges, and significantly better thread concentricity compared to rolled taps.
• Heat Treatment: Vacuum hardened to HRC 63-65 (for M2 grade), providing the perfect balance between hardness for cutting and toughness to prevent snapping.
• 6H Tolerance Control: Each batch is verified with Go/No-Go gauges to ensure perfect compatibility with standard 6g class bolts.

3. Industrial Applications 

• Automotive & Engine Repair: Perfect for cleaning out rusted threads or tapping new holes in engine blocks, chassis components, and manifolds.
• MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations): A staple tool for onsite maintenance where portable, manual threading is required for machine frames and structural brackets.
• Blind Hole Specialist: The No.3 Bottoming tap in this set allows for full thread depth in shallow blind holes, ensuring maximum fastener security.
• Material Versatility: Optimized for materials with tensile strengths up to 900 N/mm², including carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and aluminum alloys.

4. Packaging & Logistics 

For our B2B partners, we offer packaging designed for protection and branding:
• Industrial Rose-Box: A high-impact Square Plastic Tube (Rose-Box) holds the 3-piece set securely, preventing cutting edges from chipping during transit.
• Corrosion Shield: Every tap is treated with a high-performance Anti-Rust Oil coating to ensure "factory-fresh" quality after months of sea transit.
• Bulk Master Cartons: Reinforced 5-layer corrugated cartons with internal moisture-proof liners, optimized for palletizing and container loading.
• OEM Customization: Since 1997, we have provided high-definition Laser Marking on tool shanks (Your Logo + M6x1.0 + Material) to build your local brand equity.

5. Professional FAQ

• Q: Why use M2 material for the M6 size?

• A: While 4341 is suitable for light-duty work, M2 contains higher Tungsten and Molybdenum. This provides significantly better wear resistance, making it the preferred choice for industrial end-users who value tool life over initial cost.

• Q: Can these taps be used with a power drill?

• A: DIN 352 is specifically designed for Hand Tapping with a tap wrench. For power tool applications, we recommend our specialized Machine Taps or Combination Drill-Taps.

• Q: How do I ensure the thread stays straight?

• A: The No.1 Taper tap in our set features an elongated lead chamfer that acts as a guide, helping the user align the tool perfectly with the pre-drilled 5.0mm hole.
