M16-SF-6GX-GLT

HSSE-PM tap for universal application in almost all workpiece materials.

6GX - Between tolerances 6H (ISO2) and 6G (ISO3), and between 6G and 7G, there are also taps with tolerance 6HX and 6GX. “X” means the tolerance is outside the standard and is used for taps working with high strength or abrasive materials such as cast iron. These materials do not cause oversize problems so higher tolerance can be used in order to increase tool life. The tolerance width is equal between 6H and 6HX. Forming taps are usually produced with a 6HX or 6GX tolerance.

GLT-1 coating - Hard surface coating with anti-friction layer. In a PVD process (500 °C) a coating thickness of 2-4 μm can be realized. The combination of a hard surface coating (approx. 3,000 HV) with an anti-friction layer provides maximum tool life. Chip flow is also improved.
