OSG Threading Tap - Metric Spiral Point HSS-E - Steam Oxide Coated - Through Hole - M3 x 0.5

OSG's Metric Spiral Point Threading Tap offers precise, through-hole internal threading for M3 x 0.5 screws, crafted for demanding metalworking tasks and reliable performance in small-diameter applications.

• Material: HSS‑E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced hardness and heat resistance
• Coating: Steam oxide finish to reduce friction and extend tool life
• Thread type: Metric spiral point design that improves chip evacuation and accelerates tapping
• Size and pitch: M3 x 0.5 (3 mm major diameter with a 0.5 mm pitch)
• Hole compatibility: Optimized for through-hole threading to produce clean, accurate internal threads
• Brand assurance: OSG precision threading tooling trusted by professionals for consistent results

This tap delivers durable performance under higher cutting temperatures, maintaining sharpness to produce consistent M3 x 0.5 threads across multiple uses. The spiral point geometry helps push chips out of the hole, reducing downtime from chip buildup and ensuring smooth, efficient tapping. With its steam oxide coating and cobalt-enhanced alloy, it’s well-suited for through-hole components in small-bore assemblies, electronics enclosures, brackets, and other precision-machined parts—where reliable thread quality and tool longevity matter most.
