Using a plug chamfer with 3 to 5 chamfered threads, it displaces material to produce strong, work-hardened threads in through-hole applications. The tap is manufactured from high-speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, which increases surface hardness and extends tool life under repeated use. With an overall length of 2.375 inches and a thread length of 0.875 inches, this tap suits standard machine tapping setups in production and maintenance environments. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for through-hole threading operations on M5x0.8 metric thread forms in right-hand configurations. It fits standard tapping heads, CNC machining centers, and manual drill presses equipped with appropriate tap holders. Typical applications include fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light manufacturing where chip-free thread forming is required to maintain bore cleanliness or thread integrity in blind-adjacent through-hole features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming (chipless) design displaces material to create work-hardened internal threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM5x0.8 metric right-hand thread form with plug chamfer (3 to 5 chamfered threads)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides toughness and resistance to thermal stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium nitride coating extends tool life and reduces friction during forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD7 thread limit for controlled fit and tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank diameter of 0.194 inches with square drive size of 0.152 inches for positive drive engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole thread forming in M5x0.8 metric applications using standard tap holders and tapping attachments compatible with a 0.194-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require proper cutting fluid or tapping compound suited to the workpiece material  -  consult material manufacturer guidelines for lubricant selection. Ensure the tap holder and spindle are aligned to avoid tap deflection or breakage. Power down or disengage the machine spindle before loading or removing the tap. Thread forming generates higher torque than cutting taps, so verify that the tapping attachment torque capacity is appropriate for the tap size and material being worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M5x0.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches (60.33 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.194 inches (4.93 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.152 inches (3.86 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: K010454AS25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742957535538,"sku":"K010454AS25","price":36.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f11aa3a3fa0eebda0ce007a2483d4cda.jpg?v=1788840777","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k010454as25-thread-forming-tap-m5x0-8-plug-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
