The Europa Spiral Flute Threading Tap is a precision threading tool designed for engineers and machinists who need reliable metric coarse threads. Its 45-degree spiral flute and HSS-E cobalt construction ensure consistent cutting performance and extended tool life in demanding projects.

  • Threading geometry: Spiral flute with a 45° helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting.
  • Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) to deliver enhanced hardness and wear resistance in tough metals.
  • Size and specification: Metric coarse threading, M2.5 x 0.45, suited for standard fastener applications in small-diameter holes.
  • Identification: Distinct blue ring marks the tap for quick recognition in busy workshops and toolkits.
  • Precision build: Precisely ground cutting edges and flute geometry to produce clean, consistent threads.

Designed to deliver clean, repeatable threads, this Europa tap helps you minimize threading errors and downtime. The cobalt-infused steel resists wear during frequent tapping, while the spiral flute supports smooth chip evacuation to reduce the risk of binding or breakage in both through-holes and blind applications. The blue ring makes it easy to locate in a crowded toolbox, helping technicians move efficiently from task to task—whether you’re prototyping, repairing, or producing small-diameter components that require reliable internal threads.
