Europa Threading Tap - Spiral Point - UNC - HSS-E - Yellow Ring - No. 5 x 40

The Europa Spiral Point UNC Threading Tap No. 5 x 40 is a precision cutting tool designed for reliable internal threading in coarse UNC applications. Engineered for engineers and machinists, it delivers consistent, clean threads in through-holes with enduring durability in demanding environments.

• Configuration: Spiral Point (gun tap) design that pushes chips forward for efficient through-hole tapping and reduced clogging.
• Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for superior hardness, wear resistance, and long tool life.
• Thread Type: UNC (Unified National Coarse) threading to match standard fasteners and common components.
• Size / Length: No. 5 x 40, compact form with a 40 mm overall length suitable for a variety of tapped cavities.
• Identification: Yellow ring on the shank provides quick, at-a-glance recognition of the specialized configuration in busy workshops.
• Precision & Finish: Carefully ground and sharpened to produce consistent thread profiles and reliable performance across multiple uses.

With its spiral point geometry and cobalt-enhanced steel, this tap enables faster cutting, better chip evacuation, and durable performance in standard and tougher materials. The No. 5 x 40 size covers a broad range of through-hole projects—from production runs to prototypes—while the yellow identification ring helps prevent mix-ups in high-volume workflows. Use with appropriate cutting fluid to maximize life and maintain accurate thread alignment, reducing rework and ensuring first-pass success in everyday engineering tasks.
