Snail Tools HSS M2 Spiral Flute Machine Tap (M18 x 1.5 Fine Pitch)

M18x1.5 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, large-diameter tool designed for cutting fine M18 internal threads in blind (bottoming) holes. The key feature is the spiral flute geometry, which 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, 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 M18 fine pitch 1.5 mm tap is ideal for applications requiring substantial clamping force and precision over the standard coarse pitch.

Key Features & Blind Hole Performance

• Thread Specification: M18 x 1.5 Fine Pitch – Provides accurate, fine metric threads suitable for large-diameter applications requiring greater tensile strength and precision than coarse threads.

• Flute Geometry: Spiral Flute – Optimized for superior chip evacuation in blind holes, ensuring high thread quality, extended tool life, and safer tapping cycles in machine environments.

• 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 dedicated tapping equipment for reliable, high-volume thread cutting where blind holes are prevalent.
