Ground from high-speed steel and coated with titanium nitride (TiN), it delivers extended tool life and reduced friction compared to uncoated HSS taps. The four-flute straight configuration provides stable cutting action and adequate chip clearance in a wide range of workpiece materials. At 2.375 inches overall length, the tap suits standard tapping chucks and holders used in both manual and machine tapping operations. The bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes where plug or taper taps cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for general metalworking, tool-and-die, maintenance, and production applications requiring metric M5x0.80 threads. Typical materials include steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys. The 6H class of fit produces threads within standard tolerance for most metric fastener assemblies. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual tapping fixtures. The D4 thread limit indicates a ground tap with a specific pitch diameter tolerance for reliable fit control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life over uncoated HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes provide stable cutting and chip management\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6H class of fit meets standard metric fastener assembly tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eD4 thread limit for controlled pitch diameter consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction for standard tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard tapping chucks and holders that accept the shank diameter of an M5 tap.

Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to reduce heat and improve thread quality. For blind holes, set depth stops carefully to prevent the tap from bottoming out against the hole floor under power. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace immediately if damage is observed.\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.35 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: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: K027738AS25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743191531826,"sku":"K027738AS25","price":25.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3a466af3dc9cfd2c7be9dfcba8496f22.jpg?v=1788843754","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k027738as25-straight-flute-tap-m5x0-80-metric-coarse","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
