Mueller Kueps 600 248-5 Left Hand Spiral Point Tap M6, TIN

Key Facts

Part Number: 600 248-5

• Left-hand spiral point tap for M6 internal threads
• TIN (Titanium Nitride) coating for extended tool life and reduced friction
• Designed for through-hole threading applications
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward for cleaner cuts
• Suitable for professional automotive and industrial use

Overview

The Left Hand Spiral Point Tap M6, TIN is engineered for creating or repairing left-hand internal threads in through-hole applications. It is especially useful in situations involving seized or broken fasteners where reverse threading is required.

Its spiral point design efficiently drives chips forward, reducing clogging and improving cutting performance. Combined with a Titanium Nitride (TIN) coating, this tap offers enhanced durability, reduced friction, and longer service life in demanding environments. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Category FAQs

• What is a left-hand tap used for?
  It is used to create or repair threads that tighten counterclockwise, often used in specialized or reverse-thread applications.
• What does a spiral point tap do?
  It pushes chips forward through the hole, making it ideal for through-hole threading.
• What are the benefits of a TIN coating?
  It reduces friction, increases hardness, and extends tool life during cutting operations.
• When should a left-hand thread be used?
  Left-hand threads are used in applications where standard threads may loosen under rotation or where reverse extraction is required.
