It carries an M5x0.80 thread size with a 3-flute, right-hand fast flute style and a 45-degree helix angle that efficiently evacuates chips up and out of the hole during cutting. The modified bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes where a standard or plug chamfer cannot reach. Built from M42 powdered metal, it delivers elevated hardness and heat resistance compared to standard high-speed steel, making it well suited for demanding production environments. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators install this tap in drill press, tapping arm, and machining center setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is rated for use in a wide range of materials including aluminum, brass, bronze, carbon steel, copper, magnesium, stainless steel, wrought aluminum alloy, and zinc. The 4H class of fit delivers a standard tolerance thread appropriate for general fastener and assembly applications. The bright uncoated finish makes it a straightforward choice when coating compatibility with the workpiece material is a concern or when re-grinding is anticipated. It is part of the BALAX BX200 series, which targets high-cycle blind hole production tapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM5x0.80 metric coarse thread with 4H class of fit for standard tolerance blind hole threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree right-hand helix angle with fast flute style for efficient chip evacuation in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer for threading near the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 powdered metal construction for superior hardness and heat resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eD4 thread limit for consistent fit across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish  -  compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and regrind-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for use in aluminum, brass, bronze, carbon steel, copper, magnesium, stainless steel, wrought aluminum alloy, and zinc.

Ensure the spindle is fully de-energized and the workpiece is securely fixtured before tap engagement. Apply a cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain thread quality. Do not reverse the tap under power until it has completed its full thread depth to avoid breakage in blind hole applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M5x0.80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.80 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.194 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.152 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Powdered Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BX200\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BALAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 43044-010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063398101298,"sku":"43044-010","price":50.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7961c505319e284fc24e52e333129a16.jpg?v=1790043325","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-43044-010-spiral-flute-tap-m5x0-80-metric-coarse","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
