Value Collection MSC-04997359 Spiral Point Tap M5x1.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04997359 is a spiral point tap designed for cutting internal threads in through-hole applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap is suited for general-purpose threading in a range of workpiece materials. The M5x1.00 metric special thread form, 2-flute design, and plug chamfer make it a reliable choice for production and maintenance threading operations where consistent thread quality is required. A right-hand thread direction and D4 thread limit round out the core cutting geometry.

This spiral point tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments where metric threaded holes are required. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in, making it suitable for both blind and through-hole applications when paired with proper setup. It is typically run in a CNC machining center, drill press, or tapping head by machinists, tool and die makers, or maintenance technicians working with metric fastener systems.

Key Features

• M5x1.00 metric special thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility
• 2-flute spiral point design pushes chips forward ahead of the tap during cutting
• Plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in for reliable thread starts
• High speed steel construction offers good wear resistance in general-purpose materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids
• Right-hand thread direction, D4 thread limit for controlled tolerance fit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric special spiral point tap for use in through-hole threading operations requiring an M5x1.00 thread form with a D4 thread limit.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapping head, tap wrench, or CNC rigid tapping cycle. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the threading operation and apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Do not exceed recommended spindle speeds for the workpiece material and tap diameter. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use to avoid thread damage or tap breakage.
