Value Collection JY4995783 Straight Flute Tap M5x1.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4995783 is a straight flute tap designed to cut internal M5x1.00 metric special threads in a wide range of materials. It features a plug chamfer for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole threading, and is manufactured from high-speed steel for reliable performance across production and maintenance applications. With a D5 thread limit and 6H class of fit, it produces threads within standard tolerance for typical metric fastener assemblies. Four flutes provide chip clearance during the cut. Overall length is 2.375 inches with a thread length of 0.875 inches. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance tradespeople are the typical installers.

This tap is suited for use in manual tapping, drill press, or CNC tapping operations where a straight flute design is appropriate. Straight flute taps work best in shorter-chipping materials such as cast iron, brass, and some steels. The plug chamfer distributes the cutting load over several leading threads, making it a versatile choice for both through holes and moderately deep blind holes. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for general use with cutting fluid or tapping compound.

Key Features

• M5x1.00 metric special thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility
• Plug chamfer distributes cutting load over multiple leading threads for versatile hole applications
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across common workpiece materials
• 4-flute design offers chip clearance and stable cutting geometry
• 6H class of fit and D5 thread limit for consistent, in-tolerance thread production
• Right-hand thread direction, bright uncoated finish compatible with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or working tap for M5x1.00 metric special threaded holes in maintenance, production, and toolroom environments where a straight flute plug tap is specified.

Installation Notes

Install in a tap wrench, tapping fixture, drill press, or CNC machine equipped for rigid or floating tap holders. Always apply cutting fluid or tapping compound appropriate for the workpiece material before and during tapping. Back off periodically to break chips when tapping by hand. Ensure the starting hole diameter matches the recommended tap drill size for M5x1.00 threads before beginning the operation.
