Spiral Flute Tap: M2 x 0.40, Metric, 3 Flute, Modified Bottoming, 6HX Class of Fit, Cobalt, Oxide Finish MPN:6149733

This spiral flute tap is an excellent choice for machining metric material with M2 size threads, particularly aluminum, stainless steel or other hardened metals due to its high wear resistance provided by the cobalt content. The 6HX class of fit reduces the risk of chip accumulation and ensures smooth operation in tough environments. It features a modified bottoming taper for better chip extraction during drilling. This type of tap is commonly used in aviation, automotive, construction, and machining industries where precision threads are needed. With its solid cobalt body, the tool delivers durability in both performance and long term usage compared to carbon steel options. Its high-quality finish provides added strength for producing superior thread quality with a minimum burr after use.
