RS PRO Threading Tap M6 Metric Spiral Flute Machine Tap HSS, Right Hand 66mm 151-987

The RS PRO 151-987 Threading Tap offers precision-cut M6 metric threads, making it ideal for professional machine tapping in industrial, manufacturing, repair, and mechanical assembly environments. This tap features advanced spiral flute geometry, allowing for efficient chip evacuation and helping to prevent clogging during use.

Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers exceptional edge retention and durability, maintaining sharp cutting performance across a broad spectrum of metals including stainless steel, alloy steel, and aluminum. The right-hand thread direction and machine-use design facilitate reliable operation in CNC and conventional tapping setups.

Its second-chamfer provides smooth thread start and engagement, minimizing the risk of misalignment or thread damage. The overall 66mm length and 6.3mm shank diameter are suited for secure mounting in compatible machine tap holders, ensuring stability and precise control in industrial settings.

The blue steam tempered finish not only reduces friction during tapping but also enhances the quality of the thread finish, delivering consistently fine results. This threading tap is a valuable choice for machinists, maintenance teams, and manufacturing engineers who demand consistent, high-quality performance and longevity in their tooling.

Applications include fabrication workshops, assembly lines, equipment servicing, and parts manufacturing. It ensures reliable metric threading for fasteners, machine components, and repair work where precision and finish are critical.
