The Dormer E500 2.5 X 0.45 3FL SET3 is a comprehensive tap set designed for precision threading tasks. This set includes three distinct types of taps: a taper tap, a plug tap, and a bottom tap, all engineered for threading M2.5 size holes. Each faucet is crafted from high-speed steel (HSS), ensuring durability and long service life.

• Taper Tap

The taper tap is the starting point in the set. It features a gradually increasing diameter towards the cutting edge, which helps in starting the threading process. This design is ideal for initiating new threads in an unthreaded hole, ensuring a smooth and accurate start.

• Plug Tap

Following the taper tap is the plug tap. It has a more pronounced taper than the taper tap but less than the bottom tap. This design is suitable for threading through holes or to a certain depth in blind holes, providing a balance between initial threading and more detailed thread cutting.

• Bottom Tap

The bottom tap, with the slightest taper among the three, is designed for threading the bottom of blind holes. Its flat end allows for threading right up to the bottom of a hole, making it indispensable for creating threads in enclosed spaces.
