Value Collection JY63326748 Spiral Point Tap M5x0.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY63326748 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting internal metric fine threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap features a plug chamfer style and two flutes configured in a spiral point geometry that pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting zone. Thread size is M5x0.50 and thread limit is D4, which controls the tolerance of the finished thread. Right-hand thread direction is standard. This tool is suited for machine tapping operations in production and maintenance environments.

This tap is used to thread M5x0.50 metric fine holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar workpiece materials. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-hole tapping applications where the tap can pass fully through the material. It is commonly used by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on precision assemblies, fastener repairs, and fabrication tasks that require metric fine thread standards.

Key Features

• M5x0.50 metric fine thread form for precise, fine-pitch threaded holes
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for general-purpose tapping
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole applications
• Plug chamfer style — typically 3 to 5 thread lead — suited for through-hole tapping
• D4 thread limit ensures consistent tolerance on finished internal threads
• Bright uncoated finish; right-hand thread direction; no coolant-through feature

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M5x0.50 metric fine spiral point tap compatible with machine tapping setups that accept straight-shank taps of this thread size and geometry.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use by machinists and metalworking technicians in drill press, CNC, or tapping machine setups. Secure the workpiece firmly and use appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct diameter for M5x0.50 metric fine threads before tapping. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if damaged to avoid thread quality issues or tap breakage.
