The tap is constructed from HSSE-V3 (cobalt high-speed steel, ~8–10% Co), which provides significantly enhanced red-hardness and wear resistance over standard HSS, making it well-suited for threading stainless steel, heat-resistant alloys, and other difficult-to-machine materials. The spiral (helical) flute geometry — designated R-40, indicating a 40° helix angle — efficiently evacuates chips upward and out of the hole, making this tap optimized for blind-hole threading operations. The D7 tolerance class produces a 6H thread fit per ISO 965, the standard metric thread tolerance for general-purpose fastener applications. This tap accepts standard M16 square-drive tap wrenches and machine tap holders with appropriate collet or chuck sized for its shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:12px;font-size:16px;color:#56555b;border-bottom:2px solid #85c94f;padding-bottom:6px;\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSowa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003ePart Number \/ Catalog #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e123669\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eThread Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eM16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e2.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMetric (ISO)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eTap Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSpiral Flute (Helical)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e40° (R-40)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eMaterial \/ Grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHSSE-V3 (Cobalt HSS, ~8-10% Co)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eTolerance Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eD7 (produces 6H thread fit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBlind hole threading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;font-weight:600;color:#56555b;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;width:40%;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DDT2 (Cutters)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515724173527,"sku":"5478j1658","price":24.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/0626\/7095\/files\/sowa-m16x2-d7-hsse-v3-r-40-spiral-flute-tap-1.jpg?v=1790175175","url":"https:\/\/dansdiscounttools.com\/products\/sowa-m16x2-d7-hsse-v3-r-40-spiral-flute-tap","provider":"Dan's Discount Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
