Totem – HSS Tap Set M6 | High-Speed Steel Metric Threading Tool (M6 x 1.0 mm) – 3-Piece Set

The Totem HSS Tap Set M6 is a high-quality, precision-engineered threading toolset designed to cut or repair M6 x 1.0 mm metric internal threads. Built with industrial-grade High-Speed Steel (HSS), this 3-piece set provides professional performance in materials such as steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, and plastic. Whether you’re a workshop technician, metal fabricator, automotive engineer, or DIY enthusiast, this tap set offers everything needed for clean, reliable thread cutting.

Manufactured by Totem, a trusted name in engineering tools, this M6 tap set includes three essential tap types: Taper, Intermediate, and Bottoming. Each is designed for smooth thread formation, chip clearance, and durability under continuous use.


What Does an M6 Tap Set Do?

An M6 tap is used to cut internal threads that match a standard M6 bolt or screw (6 mm diameter, 1.0 mm thread pitch). The set includes:

  1. Taper Tap (First Cut Tap) – Starts the threading process with fewer cutting teeth to ease alignment and reduce torque.

  2. Intermediate Tap (Second Cut Tap) – Progressively deepens the threads with improved accuracy.

  3. Bottoming Tap (Third Cut Tap) – Cuts threads to full depth, ideal for blind holes (not drilled through completely).

Using all three taps ensures smooth, full-profile threads that are stronger, cleaner, and easier to install fasteners into.


Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS)

Totem taps are crafted from premium High-Speed Steel, known for:

  • Superior edge retention

  • High resistance to heat and wear

  • Strength under cutting pressure

  • Long tool life even under frequent or industrial usage

HSS makes this set suitable for tough jobs on both hard and soft materials, delivering sharp, consistent threading every time.
