M12x1.5 Fine Pitch Tap for Clean Threading in Blind Holes in Steel, Iron, and Non-Ferrous Metals in Canada.
The Snail Tools HSS M2 Spiral Flute Machine Tap is a specialized, high-performance tool designed for cutting internal threads in blind (bottoming) holes requiring precise engagement. The key feature is the spiral flute geometry, which efficiently draws chips upward and out of the hole. This action prevents chip clogging and dramatically reduces the risk of tap breakage, especially in deep blind-hole tapping operations. 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 M12 fine pitch ($1.5\text{ mm}$) tap is ideal for applications requiring stronger, more accurate threads than coarse counterparts.
Key Features & Blind Hole Performance
-
Thread Specification: M12 x 1.5 Fine Pitch – Provides accurate, fine metric threads, widely used for strong fastening applications where the coarse pitch (M12x1.75) may not be suitable.
-
Flute Geometry: Spiral Flute – Optimized for superior chip evacuation in blind holes, ensuring high thread quality, extended tool life, and safer tapping cycles.
-
Material: HSS M2 (High-Speed Steel) – A robust Molybdenum-grade steel offering superior hot hardness and toughness for continuous machine tapping operations.
-
Application: Ideal for use in CNC machining centers and precision tapping equipment for reliable thread cutting where blind holes are prevalent.
