BEYOND TR36X6 Trapezoidal Thread Tap
Heavy-Duty Tr36 x 6mm Pitch | Precision HSS Lead Screw Tapping
Industrial TR36X6 Metric Trapezoidal Tap
The BEYOND TR36X6 is a professional-grade trapezoidal thread tap engineered for cutting high-precision internal threads in lead screw nuts and power transmission components. Featuring a 36mm nominal diameter and a 6mm pitch, this Tr36x6 metric tap is built from premium High-Speed Steel (HSS) to ensure maximum durability under the high-torque demands of large-pitch threading. It is the ideal choice for heavy machinery, CNC lead screws, and industrial lathes.

HSS Material & Straight Flute Architecture
Premium High-Speed Steel (HSS): This TR36X6 machine tap is manufactured from industrial-grade HSS, providing the necessary toughness and wear resistance for heavy-load threading. The material choice prevents "chipping" of the thread teeth even when working with tougher alloys or stainless steels.
Straight Flute Geometry: The straight flute design is optimized for large-diameter trapezoidal threads. It provides a robust cross-section that can handle the massive torque generated during the 6mm pitch cut. It is versatile for both through-hole and blind-hole tapping in materials like steel, bronze, and cast iron.
Recommended Cutting Parameters (TR36X6)
Use high-quality tapping oil or sulfurized cutting oil for best results:
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 3 - 6 m/min (Steel); 8 - 12 m/min (Bronze/Brass)
- Feed Rate: Must be exactly 6.0 mm/rev (Lead screw synchronized).
- Rotational Speed (N): Approximately 25 - 50 RPM depending on material.
- Mandatory: Ensure the pilot hole is exactly 30mm to prevent tap breakage.

Technical Support Q&A
Q: What is the difference between TR36X6 and ACME 1-1/2?
A: TR36X6 is a Metric standard (ISO 2901) with a 30° thread angle. ACME is an Imperial standard with a 29° angle. They are NOT interchangeable.
Q: Can I use this for Stainless Steel?
A: Yes, but ensure you use a very low RPM and a high-quality sulfurized cutting oil to prevent work hardening and tap welding.
Q: Is this a single-start or multi-start tap?
A: This is a single-start TR36X6 tap, which is the most common standard for industrial lead screws.
Tapping Material Comparison Tip
High-Speed Steel (HSS): The standard for the BEYOND TR36X6. Offers the best balance of hardness and toughness, preventing tooth fracture during the high-load entry phase.
Cobalt (HSS-Co): Higher heat resistance, but more brittle. Only recommended for continuous high-speed production in abrasive materials.
Carbon Steel: Avoid for Tr36x6. Carbon steel lacks the strength to handle the 6mm pitch torque and will likely snap or dull instantly.
