Sowa M18 x 2.5mm ISO Metric Coarse Orange Ring HSSE‑V3 Spiral Point Tap – HSSE Tap, 4.5P Chamfer, 4-1/32" Overall Length, Black Oxide Finish, Right‑Hand, D7 Tolerance

Key features

• HSSE‑V3 Material for Tough Applications — Manufactured from vanadium‑enhanced high‑speed steel, this tap offers improved strength and wear resistance—ideal for stainless steel up to 35 HRC.
• Spiral Point Design — Drives chips forward out of the hole to maintain clean cutting action and reduce chip “crowding,” especially useful in through-hole tapping.
• Precision Dimensions & Coating — Features a M18 x 2.5mm ISO Metric Coarse thread size, 4.5P chamfer, D7 tolerance, and a black oxide finish for enhanced wear protection.
• Optimized Lengths — 4-1/32" overall length with a 1.102" thread length gives the balance of reach and rigidity suitable for precision tapping tasks.
• Reliable Production & Brand Backing — Produced and quality controlled by Sowa Taps, tailored for industrial, maintenance, or manufacturing use.
