Spiral Flute Tap: M5 x 0.80, Metric Coarse, 3 Flute, Bottoming, 6H Class of Fit, Cobalt, Bright/Uncoated MPN:5975374

Spiral flute taps are popular cutting tools designed for threading operations that feature a center start with continuous spiral flutes to generate exceptional chip removal for optimal performance when creating internal threads. This M5 x 0.80 size taps metric coarse thread and comes in a conveniently small package as one of the smaller sizes on offer, making it suitable for projects or industries requiring precise but compact equipment installation. It uses an impressive 3 flute count that reduces cutting pressure, promotes quicker material removal while also minimizing tool deflection, ensuring a high-quality finish on soft to medium alloy materials. With a bottoming tap feature, this spiral flute model guarantees complete thread engagement and eliminates the need for separate starts, enabling quick single pass tapping that saves time in production. 6H class of fit adds to its precision by offering closer thread tolerances to satisfy tightened requirements where minute variations can result in poor sealing or leakage. In addition, the use of cobalt adds wear resistance, increasing longevity and reducing regrinding needed while maintaining a bright uncoated finish for applications requiring precise thread dimensions.
