The OSG Threading Tap, metric M18 x 2.5, is a high-performance tool engineered for through-hole tapping with precision and durability. Designed for machinists and production environments, it delivers clean, accurate threads even in demanding materials.

• Geometry: A-Spiral Point design that pushes chips ahead of the tool to reduce clogging and improve thread formation in through-holes.
• Material: Powder metal body for enhanced wear resistance and resilience under high-speed tapping conditions.
• Coating: TiCN coating minimizes friction and dissipates heat, extending tool life and maintaining cutting efficiency.
• Thread Direction: Right-hand threading aligned with standard production tapping practices for predictable results.
• Size: Metric size M18 x 2.5, suited for larger-diameter through-hole applications and strong fastener engagements.
• Through-Hole Design: Specifically configured for through-hole DIN 376 applications, ensuring reliable thread quality from start to finish.

In practice, this tap offers efficient chip evacuation, reduced risk of chip packing, and consistent thread quality across long through-holes. The combination of powder-metal toughness and TiCN coating supports higher cutting speeds and longer tool life, lowering downtime and increasing throughput. Ideal for automotive, aerospace, and general engineering environments where robust, accurate M18 x 2.5 threads are required and through-hole tapping is a common operation.
