OSG Threading Tap - Metric Spiral Point HSS-E - Steam Oxide Coated - Through Hole - M16 x 2

Experience precision threading with the OSG Metric Spiral Point Threading Tap, designed for through-hole production and reliable performance. Crafted from high-speed steel with cobalt content (HSS-E) and finished with a steam oxide coating, this tap delivers durability and consistent thread quality for demanding machining tasks.

• Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced hardness and heat resistance during tougher cuts.
• Coating: Steam oxide finish reduces friction, lowers wear, and extends tool life in demanding environments.
• Geometry: Spiral-point design facilitates fast chip evacuation and smooth entry in through-hole tapping.
• Thread size: M16 x 2 metric threading, offering precise, standardized through-hole threads.
• Application: Optimized for through-hole tapping in metalworking applications where reliability and clean threads matter.
• Brand: OSG—a trusted name in precision threading tools for consistent performance.

This tap delivers tangible benefits in real-world milling and drilling workflows. The HSS-E core stands up to higher cutting speeds and feeds, while the steam oxide coating helps manage heat and wear, reducing the frequency of tool changes. The spiral-point geometry keeps chips from packing into the hole, supporting faster cycles and cleaner threads in through-hole components such as brackets, housings, and fixtures. For shops seeking dependable, long-lasting threading tools, this OSG tap combines robust construction with practical performance to help you meet tight production schedules and maintain high thread quality.
