Maykestag HSS-Co5 Machine Tap MF 16 x 1.5 DIN 374 Form B

Professional HSS-Co5 machine tap for producing MF 16 x 1.5 metric fine internal threads in through holes, manufactured to DIN 374 with an ISO2 (6H) thread tolerance and Form B 3.5–5P chamfer for controlled, accurate thread cutting.

The Maykestag Code 5154 machine tap is designed for accurate production of metric fine threads in professional machining applications. This MF 16 tap has a 1.5mm pitch and is manufactured from HSS-Co5 cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel, providing the toughness, heat resistance and cutting-edge durability required for dependable thread production. Its Form B chamfer provides a progressive cutting lead over approximately 3.5 to 5 thread pitches, making the geometry particularly suitable for through-hole tapping.

What does MF 16 x 1.5 mean? MF identifies an ISO metric fine thread. The MF 16 designation refers to a nominal thread diameter of 16mm, while the 1.5mm pitch is the distance from one thread crest to the next. This is finer than the standard coarse M16 thread pitch and provides more threads over the same axial distance.

Product highlights

MF 16 x 1.5 thread: Produces a 16mm nominal metric fine internal thread with a precise 1.5mm pitch.
HSS-Co5 construction: Cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel provides excellent toughness, heat resistance and cutting-edge durability for professional tapping.
DIN 374 standard: Manufactured to the recognised dimensional standard for this type of metric fine machine tap.
ISO2 (6H) tolerance: Designed to produce the commonly specified 6H internal metric thread tolerance class.
Form B chamfer: A 3.5–5P cutting lead provides gradual tooth engagement and controlled cutting during through-hole tapping.
Through-hole application: Form B geometry is designed for holes where chips can move ahead of the cutting action and exit through the workpiece.
14.5mm tap-drill diameter: Maykestag specifies a 14.5mm pre-drilled hole for this MF 16 x 1.5 tap.
Precision dimensions: 100mm overall length with a 22mm cutting section, 12mm shank and 9mm square drive.

Why Choose Maykestag?

Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool brand focused on precision-manufactured tools for professional machining. Thread cutting demands particularly accurate geometry because pitch, thread profile, tolerance and cutting-edge condition all directly influence the quality of the finished internal thread. Maykestag provides clearly defined standards, tolerances and application data to help machinists select the correct tap for the job.

The Code 5154 range combines HSS-Co5 cutting material with DIN 374 geometry, ISO2 (6H) thread tolerance and a Form B chamfer. This combination makes the range well suited to controlled production of metric fine threads across the material groups rated by Maykestag.

Designed for Accurate Fine-Thread Tapping

With a nominal MF 16 thread diameter and 1.5mm pitch, this tap is designed specifically for fine-pitch internal threads. The Form B 3.5–5P chamfer progressively brings the cutting teeth into contact with the workpiece, distributing the cutting load over several teeth and helping the tap enter the prepared hole smoothly. Using Maykestag&s specified 14.5mm tap-drill diameter, together with the correct cutting speed, lubrication and machine alignment, helps achieve accurate thread form, dependable tool life and a consistent finished thread.

What is a Form B chamfer?

A Form B tap uses a cutting chamfer of approximately 3.5 to 5 thread pitches. Rather than the full thread profile engaging the workpiece immediately, the chamfer progressively introduces the cutting teeth into the material. This distributes the cutting load over several teeth and is particularly suited to through-hole tapping, where chips have room to travel ahead of the tap and exit the hole.

Understanding ISO2 (6H) thread tolerance

ISO2 (6H) identifies the thread tolerance produced by the tap. The 6H class is a commonly used tolerance for ISO metric internal threads and provides a controlled fit with a correctly matched external metric thread. Correct tap-drill diameter, accurate machine alignment and suitable cutting conditions are important for achieving the intended thread tolerance.

Why choose a metric fine thread?

A metric fine thread uses a smaller pitch than the corresponding standard coarse metric thread. The MF 16 x 1.5 thread therefore provides more thread pitches along a given length than a standard coarse M16 thread. Fine threads are used where the component or engineering design specifically calls for the finer pitch, including applications requiring precise axial adjustment or a reduced thread lead.

MaySpeedGuide: Maykestag recommends using the MaySpeedGuide to determine the appropriate cutting conditions for the tool, workpiece material and machining application.

Tap preparation matters. For this MF 16 x 1.5 tap, Maykestag specifies a 14.5mm tap-drill diameter. Correct hole size, suitable cutting fluid, accurate alignment and the appropriate cutting speed all help improve thread quality and tool life.
