Tanoi Metric Tap Uncoated Spiral Point HSS-E V3 For Non Ferrous Materials M3x0.5

The Tanoi Metric Tap in uncoated HSS-E is built for machinists who work with light alloys—especially aluminium and copper. Designed for M3x0.5 metric threads, its spiral-point geometry delivers fast, precise threading with clean chip evacuation.

• Material and grade: HSS‑E (cobalt‑enriched high‑speed steel) for durable performance on non‑ferrous metals.
• Coating: Uncoated design to maximize cutting action and predictability with aluminum and copper.
• Thread size: Metric M3x0.5 for compatibility with standard metric fasteners.
• Design: Spiral‑point (gun‑nose) geometry that pushes chips ahead, enabling smoother cuts and reduced risk of clogging.
• Applications: Optimized for threading aluminium and copper components in small‑scale fabrication, electronics housings, and lightweight assemblies.
• Durability: Crafted to withstand repeated use in non‑ferrous materials while maintaining consistent thread quality.

In practice, this tap helps you produce clean, accurate threads in soft metals where coating options may add unnecessary friction or flake away. The spiral‑point design minimizes chip buildup and binding, supporting steady cutting action across multiple holes. Its M3x0.5 sizing makes it a reliable choice for precise small‑diameter threads in aluminium and copper parts, whether you’re prototyping, repairing, or performing routine maintenance. For best results, apply a suitable cutting fluid or light oil formulated for non‑ferrous metals to improve thread finish and extend tap life.
