Why choose it

The HSS construction provides durability and heat resistance for threading operations. The finishing tap (Nr. 3) produces final, precise threads to ISO 2 (6H) tolerance, ensuring a proper fit for M3 fasteners. Its right-hand cutting direction suits standard clockwise threading.

Ideal use cases

• Creating M3 metric coarse threads in steel components
• Threading cast iron parts in maintenance and repair
• Producing threads in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum or brass
• Finishing pre-drilled holes to final thread dimensions

Good to know

Use with a tap wrench that fits the 2.7 mm square drive. For best results, employ appropriate cutting fluid and follow recommended tapping speeds for HSS taps. The bright surface finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation.
