The Europa Spiral Point Threading Tap is a precision tool designed for metric coarse threading in through-holes, built for engineers and machinists who demand reliability in metalworking. Its spiral point geometry helps push chips forward for smoother, faster tapping across a range of common metals.

  • Threading type: Spiral Point design for efficient chip evacuation and through-hole tapping.
  • Thread specification: Metric Coarse thread, M2.5 x 0.45, ideal for small-diameter fasteners and quick assembly.
  • Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced hardness and wear resistance in demanding applications.
  • Identification: Yellow Ring marking provides quick recognition of its specialized design in tool trays and on machines.
  • Through-hole suitability: Optimized for through-hole tapping, delivering consistent threads with minimal runout and improved finish.

With its robust construction and precise geometry, this tap delivers clean, accurate threads with reliable tolerance across multiple holes. The cobalt-enhanced HSS ensures long life in rigorous industrial use, reducing rework and downtime. The compact M2.5 x 0.45 size is perfect for compact assemblies, electronics enclosures, and precision hardware projects where dependable threading is essential.
