Hertel K020155AS25 Spiral Point Tap M5x0.80 Metric Coarse

Product Description

The HERTEL K020155AS25 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting M5x0.80 metric coarse internal threads in through-hole applications. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, which keeps flutes clear and supports consistent thread formation at production feed rates. The tap is manufactured from high-speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, which increases surface hardness and reduces friction during the cutting cycle. With a 2-flute configuration and a plug chamfer, this tap is suited for machine tapping operations where controlled chip evacuation is required and hole depth provides clearance for chip flow.

This tap is intended for use in CNC machining centers, turret lathes, drill presses, and tapping machines running metric coarse thread programs. The M5x0.80 thread size is common in light mechanical assemblies, fastener bosses, and precision fabrication work across industrial and manufacturing environments. It is installed and operated by machinists, toolroom technicians, and manufacturing engineers. The right-hand thread direction is standard for conventional M5 fastener applications. Coolant-through capability is not included in this design.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, suitable for through-hole tapping
• TiN coating improves wear resistance and reduces cutting friction
• High-speed steel construction handles a broad range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer provides gradual thread engagement for machine tapping
• D2 thread limit for controlled fit in standard metric coarse applications
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute design for efficient chip management in through holes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cutting tool replacement for M5x0.80 metric coarse through-hole tapping operations in standard machine tapping setups.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use by qualified machinists operating machine tapping equipment. Before installing or changing taps, de-energize the machine and follow lockout/tagout procedures per applicable workplace safety standards. Use a properly sized tap holder or floating tap adapter to prevent tap breakage from misalignment. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before beginning the tapping cycle.
