Value Collection JY9036526 Metric Fine Tap Set M5 X 0.50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036526 is a three-piece metric fine tap set designed for threading M5 x 0.50 holes in metal workpieces. Each tap in the set is ground from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and features four flutes for efficient chip evacuation. The set includes bottoming, plug, and taper chamfer taps, giving technicians and machinists the full progression needed to cut clean threads from start to finish. Overall length is 2-3/8 inches with a thread length of 7/8 inches. Thread direction is right hand, and the thread limit is D4. This set suits production shops, maintenance facilities, and field service applications where M5 metric fine threading is required.

Metric fine tap sets like the JY9036526 are used wherever a finer thread pitch is needed for increased holding strength or vibration resistance compared to standard metric coarse threads. Typical applications include threading tapped holes in automotive components, instrumentation housings, and light mechanical assemblies. The three-chamfer progression — taper, plug, bottoming — allows the technician to start threads cleanly, advance through the full thread depth, and finish flush to the bottom of blind holes. This set is appropriate for both manual tap handles and low-speed machine tapping operations.

Key Features

• Three-piece set includes taper, plug, and bottoming chamfer taps for full thread progression
• M5 x 0.50 metric fine thread standard for high-strength, vibration-resistant threaded connections
• High-speed steel construction provides wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Four-flute geometry supports efficient chip removal during cutting
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance
• D4 thread limit for consistent fit across standard metric fine threaded fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in any standard tap handle or tapping fixture that accepts the shank size for M5 taps. Suited for right-hand M5 x 0.50 metric fine threaded hole applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Tap installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with hand or machine tapping procedures. Always secure the workpiece before threading and use an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life. Apply consistent, even pressure and back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap binding. Inspect taps for wear or damage before each use — a broken tap in a blind hole can render the workpiece unusable.
