Europa Threading Tap - Spiral Flute - Metric Coarse - Oversize for platting +0.1 - HSS-E - Green Ring - M2 x 0.4

The Europa Spiral Flute Threading Tap is crafted for engineers and machinists who need precise, plating-friendly threading at small diameters. Designed for metric coarse threads with an oversize +0.1 tolerance, it delivers dependable results in demanding fabrication workflows.

• Tap Type: Spiral flute threading tap optimized for efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting in tight, precision applications.
• Thread Type and Size: Metric coarse thread, M2 x 0.4, suitable for general-purpose tapping with robust compatibility.
• Oversize Tolerance: Oversize +0.1 to accommodate plating thicknesses and ensure proper engagement after surface finishes.
• Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced hardness, wear resistance, and extended tool life in challenging materials.
• Identification: Distinctive green ring marks the specialized configuration for quick recognition in busy toolboxes and assemblies.

The oversize configuration helps maintain accurate thread dimensions when plating adds thickness, reducing the need for re-tapping and increasing throughput. The HSS-E construction stands up to tougher metals and repetitive use, while the spiral flute design promotes clean threads and easier breakout of chips—crucial for small-diameter taps. The compact M2 x 0.4 size makes it ideal for miniature assemblies, electronics housings, and precision fittings where reliable thread formation matters most.
