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

The Europa Spiral-Flute Threading Tap is a robust solution for metric coarse threading, designed for machinists and engineers who work in tight spaces or shallow holes. Built from HSS-E with cobalt and finished with a distinctive yellow ring for the stub-type, this tap combines durability with precision for demanding industrial tasks.

• Threading Tap Type: Spiral-fluted design to guide chips away from the cutting edge and promote smooth, accurate thread formation.
• Material: HSS‑E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced hardness, wear resistance, and longer tool life in tough materials.
• Size & Thread: Metric coarse thread, M16 x 2, suitable for common coarse-thread applications.
• Configuration: Stub-type body, indicated by a yellow ring for shallow holes and restricted clearance scenarios.
• Finish & Construction: Precision-ground geometry ensures consistent threading accuracy across multiple uses.
• Chip Handling: Spiral flute geometry improves chip evacuation, reducing binding in challenging workpieces.

Designed to deliver clean, reliable threads with minimal effort, this tap excels in automotive, machinery maintenance, and fabrication settings where precision and durability matter. The stub configuration makes it particularly effective in holes with limited depth, while the cobalt-enhanced HSS supports higher cutting speeds and extended tool life. For best results, pair with appropriate tapping fluid and maintain steady, perpendicular alignment to your workpiece to achieve durable, repeatable M16 x 2 threads.
