Westward HSS M6-1.0 Tap Set
This Westward hand tap set contains three high-speed steel taps for cutting M6 x 1.0 metric coarse threads. The bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose threading in steel and non-ferrous materials. Each tap has four flutes and a right-hand thread direction. The D5 limit provides a standard fit for common fastening applications.
Suited to maintenance and light production threading
Mechanics and fabricators cutting new threads or chasing damaged M6 holes will find the three-piece taper, plug and bottoming sequence effective. The set is not intended for high-volume CNC tapping or materials requiring coated tooling such as hardened alloys or abrasive composites. Users needing larger diameters or finer pitches must select different tooling.
Handles M6 coarse threads in standard lengths
The 1-inch thread length and 2-1/2-inch overall length suit through-holes and blind holes of typical depth in plate and bracket work. The D5 limit covers standard 6H tolerance holes without oversize allowance. The set does not address larger diameters, fine-pitch variants or extended-reach requirements beyond the stated dimensions.

Questions about this item
What tap handle or wrench do I need to turn the M6×1.0 taps?
Use a standard M6 tap wrench or T-handle that fits the square on the shank; the taps have a 2 1/2 in overall length and four flutes.
Will the D5 limit cut a thread that fits my existing M6×1.0 coarse bolts?
Yes, the D5 limit produces a Metric Coarse class 6H thread that matches standard M6×1.0 bolts.
How can I check the finished thread after tapping?
Thread an M6×1.0 go/no-go gauge or a known-good bolt; it should turn smoothly with no binding.
