Description

The Tanoi Metric Forming Tap TiN with Oil Grooves in HSS-E (Version 3) is a precision threading tool engineered for metric fine threads (M3x0.5). Built for professional workshops and serious DIY projects, it delivers dependable, accurate thread forming across a broad range of materials.

  • Size and thread: M3x0.5 metric fine thread forming tap designed for clean, exact thread formation
  • Material: HSS‑E (high‑speed steel enhanced) for exceptional wear resistance and durability
  • Coating: Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating to reduce friction and extend tool life
  • Flute design: Spiral flute geometry to facilitate smooth material displacement and efficient chip control
  • Lubrication features: Integrated oil grooves for consistent lubrication during tapping, lowering heat and wear
  • Construction: Version 3 design prioritizes stronger core and improved performance under repeated use
  • Applications: Versatile across a wide range of materials with proper tapping technique, from softer metals to combination alloys
  • Usage: Suitable for hand tapping and light to moderate automated setups where reliable thread forming matters

Forming taps create threads by deforming the material rather than cutting it, resulting in strong, fatigue‑resistant threads with excellent load distribution. The TiN coating reduces surface wear while the oil grooves ensure steady lubrication, helping maintain dimensional accuracy and extending tool life even during longer tapping sessions. The spiral flutes support steady chip flow and smoother entry, yielding consistent thread quality on M3x0.5 projects. This makes the Tanoi forming tap a dependable choice for precision assemblies, quick fixture work, and small‑batch production where repeatable results matter.
