Guhring 9041220050000 Spiral Point Tap M5 X 0.8 Tin

Product Description

The GUHRING 9041220050000 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in metric coarse applications. Built from powdered metal and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tap delivers extended tool life when threading high-tensile steel. It features a plug chamfer, 3 flutes, and a right-hand thread direction with an M5 x 0.8 thread size. The overall length is 2.756 inches, and the shank diameter is 0.194 inches. Thread tolerance is held to a 6H class of fit with D3 and D4 thread limits. This tap is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production and maintenance environments.

The 9041220050000 is suited for through-hole threading operations in materials classified as high-tensile steel. The plug chamfer makes it appropriate for through-hole starting applications where the tap can run the full depth of a drilled passage. It belongs to GUHRING Series 4122 and is sized for M5 x 0.8 metric coarse threads, a common fastener thread found in light mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and machine components. Coolant-through capability is not included in this design.

Key Features

• M5 x 0.8 metric coarse thread, right-hand direction
• Powdered metal construction for improved wear resistance in high-tensile steel
• TiN coating extends cutting life and reduces friction during threading
• Plug chamfer geometry optimized for through-hole threading
• 6H class of fit with D3 and D4 thread limits for consistent tolerance control
• 3-flute design provides chip clearance in standard through-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole threading in high-tensile steel workpieces requiring M5 x 0.8 metric coarse threads. Suitable for use in standard tapping machines, CNC machining centers, and hand-tapping setups configured for right-hand metric threading.

Installation Notes

Installation of taps should be performed by qualified machinists following applicable shop safety procedures. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is properly aligned with the drilled hole before engagement to prevent tap breakage. Always use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound rated for the workpiece material. Do not reverse the tap under power without confirming the machine is configured for thread-reversing cycles.
