Sutton T213 M6 x 1 Spiral Flute Tap R15 H IK - PM-HSS Co - TiCN - DIN 371

The Sutton T213 is a spiral flute tap (R15 spiral, H designation, internal coolant) for metric coarse (M) threads, made from powder metallurgy, 8% cobalt high speed steel (PM-HSS Co) with a TiCN coating. This listing covers one size: M6 x 1.

The 15° right-hand spiral flute suits blind holes in tough, short chipping materials, up to 1.5 x D in depth. The slow helix does not transport chips well, so it has no advantage in soft or long chipping materials, especially deeper than 1.5 x d1. The H designation is for hard materials that form short chips, with a low rake angle and low thread relief. The chamfer is Form C (3 x P), generally for blind holes.

The thread tolerance is ISO 2 / 6HX. The tap is built to DIN 371: reinforced shank with square drive. The internal coolant duct (IK) delivers coolant through the tap to the cutting zone.

Where this product is used

• Suitable for harder materials up to 45 HRC.
• Blind holes.
• Depths up to 1.5 x d1.

Design features

• Powder metallurgy, 8% cobalt high speed steel (PM-HSS Co). The cobalt keeps strength and hardness at very high cutting temperatures, which suits heavy duty tapping of materials up to 45 HRC.
• TiCN coating for abrasive materials such as cast iron and aluminium alloys, and adhesive materials such as copper and copper-based alloys.
• 3 flutes.
• 15° right-hand spiral flute.
• Form C chamfer, 3 x P.
• Thread tolerance ISO 2 / 6HX.
• The H designation is for hard materials that form short chips, with a low rake angle and low thread relief.
• DIN 371 construction, reinforced shank with square drive.
