Europa Threading Tap - Spiral Point - Metric Coarse - HSS-E - Yellow Ring (Stub Type) - M16 x 2

Europa's Spiral Point Threading Tap is crafted for metric coarse threading, delivering reliable, precise performance in metalworking applications. The stub-type design, highlighted by a yellow ring, is optimized for shallow holes and restricted clearance—perfect for tight spaces on professional shops and fabrication lines.

• Brand: Europa
• Size / Thread: M16 x 2 (Metric Coarse)
• Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced strength and wear resistance
• Design: Spiral Point (gun-point) geometry to start threads easily and push chips forward in through-holes
• Type: Stub-type with a yellow ring to indicate its shallow-hole, high-clearance suitability
• Application: Internal threading for metal; ideal for precision work in limited-space environments

This tap is engineered for durable, repeatable performance in demanding machining tasks. The cobalt-infused HSS-E composition offers improved heat resistance and longevity compared with standard high-speed steel, helping maintain thread accuracy over extended use. The spiral point design ensures efficient starting and effective chip evacuation, contributing to smoother tapping and fewer reworks in production or repair work. The stub form reduces flex in tight pockets, making it a dependable choice whenever depth is limited and clearance is constrained.
