The Tanoi Metric Forming Tap TiN with Oil Grooves in HSS-E is a precision threading tool engineered for durable, reliable metric fine-thread forming on a wide range of materials. Designed for both professionals and serious enthusiasts, it delivers consistent results in M12x1.75 applications.

• Material and coating: High-speed steel (HSS-E) with TiN coating for enhanced wear resistance and longer tool life.
• Threading type: Metric forming tap for fine threads, M12x1.75, created through plastic deformation to produce stronger, more resilient threads.
• Flute design: Spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth material displacement for stable tapping.
• Oil grooves: Integrated lubrication channels that improve oil delivery, reduce friction, and extend tool life during repeated use.
• Size and compatibility: Standard M12x1.75 tapping size suitable for a broad range of nuts, bolts, and threaded components across common materials.
• Version: V3 iteration with refined geometry for improved durability and tapping consistency in demanding workflows.

Forming taps like this one create threads by reshaping the material rather than removing it, resulting in cleaner internal threads that resist loosening under load. The TiN coating minimizes wear on contact surfaces, helping maintain accurate thread profiles over more cycles. The combination of spiral flutes and oil grooves reduces binding, enhances chip control, and supports faster, more reliable tapping even on delicate or complex workpieces. Whether drafting prototypes or running production parts, this tap delivers precise, repeatable results in aluminum, steel, brass, and other common materials. For optimal performance, pair with proper lubrication and follow appropriate tapping speeds and feeds to maximize thread quality and tool life.
