Wiseman Threading Tools Spiral Flute Metric HSS Tap Right Hand - M2x0.4

The Wiseman Threading Tools Spiral Flute Metric HSS Tap Right Hand - M2x0.4 is a precision tapping solution designed for reliable, clean internal threads in metric holes. Built for consistent performance across a range of materials, this uncoated, ground high-speed steel tap delivers dependable results in everyday workshop projects and professional applications alike.

Why the spiral flute matters—The spiral flute design excels at evacuation of chips, especially in small-diameter taps like M2x0.4. As you cut, chips are directed out of the hole, reducing binding, minimizing chatter, and helping you maintain a straight, true thread. This makes it ideal for through-holes and blind holes in thin-walled parts, where other taps can clog or stall.

Versatile, uncoated HSS for broad compatibility—With an uncoated finish and a robust ground geometry, this tap pairs well with common metals such as aluminum, brass, mild steel, and many engineered plastics. It’s a reliable, general-purpose tool that doesn’t require specialty coatings, so you can rely on predictable cutting action and easy sharpening when needed.

ISO 529 compliant metric threading—Designed to the standard metric thread profile, the M2x0.4 right-hand tap ensures compatibility with standard nuts and female threads that meet ISO tolerances. The right-handed thread is the default for most assemblies, making this tap ready for immediate use in everyday projects—from electronics enclosures to small mechanical assemblies.
