Snail Tools HSS M2 Spiral Flute Machine Tap (M3 x 0.5 Coarse Pitch)

M3x0.5 Standard Pitch Tap for Clean Threading in Small, Blind Holes in Steel, Iron, and Non-Ferrous Metals in Canada.

The Snail Tools HSS M2 Spiral Flute Machine Tap is a specialized, fine-diameter tool designed for cutting the standard M3 internal threads in blind (bottoming) holes. The spiral flute geometry is critically important for this small size, as it efficiently coils chips and draws them upward and out of the hole. This action is crucial in preventing chip accumulation and dramatically reduces the risk of tap breakage (a common concern with small taps), ensuring reliable thread cutting in demanding blind-hole applications. Constructed from durable HSS M2 (High-Speed Steel), this tap offers an excellent balance of toughness and wear resistance for continuous use in production environments, suitable for materials like carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and general-purpose non-ferrous metals. This M3 coarse pitch 0.5 mm tap is the industry standard for general small-diameter fastening.
