This M16 threading tool is designed for precise M16 thread cutting in metalworking projects. It combines durability, accuracy, and efficient chip removal to improve tapping performance. Key features and benefits - Metric Thread Size: M16 ensures compatibility with standard M16 nuts and bolts. - Shaft width: 9.8 mm; thread length: 33 mm provide stable engagement and the required cutting depth for common workpieces. - Material: HSS (high speed steel) delivers high wear resistance and long tool life for repeated tapping in steel, alloys, and other metals. - Total length: 101 mm offers a compact form for handheld use or machine tapping in constrained spaces. - Straight 3 grooves ground for fast chip removal, reducing clogging and improving cutting efficiency. Practical applications - Tapping M16 threads in steel plates, blocks, or brackets in automotive, mechanical, or fabrication shops. - Repair work where clean, accurate M16 threaded holes are required in metal components. - Prototyping or DIY metal projects that involve creating durable M16 threads in aluminum or steel parts.
