High speed steel (HSS) spiral flute plug style taps with a titanium (TiN) coating.

These metric taps are available in sizes ranging from M2 to M10 and comply with standard tap dimensions as defined in DIN 371. The thread tap limits (pitch diameter limits) range from D3 to D6. (see product Specifications)

D3 = plus 0.0015
D4 = plus 0.0020
D5 = plus 0.0025
D6 = plus 0.0030

These metric spiral flute taps have 35-degree spiral to assist in evacuating chips out of the tapped hole. Spiral flutes are recommended when bridging a gap inside the hole such as a keyway or cross-hole.

Daniel ★★★★★

M2 through M10 covers everything my shop needs for small jobs, and the spiral flute clears chips way better than my old straight-flute taps. The TiN coating held up through a dozen aluminum parts without any sign of wear.

Brian K. ★★★★★

The TiN coating on the M6 I grabbed handled aluminum without any gumming up, and the spiral flute cleared chips like a dream. Cut threads were clean and sharp right out of the pack, no wobble or chatter even at speed. For the price per tap, these are a solid buy for the toolbox.

James W. ★★★★☆

These M3 spiral flute taps cut clean threads in aluminum without binding, and the TiN coating is holding up better than the uncoated ones I used before. The flute design clears chips well, though I wish the size markings were etched a bit deeper for quicker identification.
