Description

The Dormer E003 M5 Spiral Flute Tap is ideal for creating M5 metric coarse threads in blind holes, a versatile small-to-medium thread size commonly required in light engineering, electrical installations, automotive trim work, and general mechanical assemblies. This tap is perfect for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts tackling precision threading tasks. M5 threads are extensively used in control equipment, automotive interior components, light machinery, electrical enclosures, and mounting brackets where a small but strong thread is required. The spiral flute design is essential for blind hole applications, pulling chips upward and preventing the accumulation that can break taps or damage threads. With 3 flutes and an 8mm threading length, this tap handles most M5 applications in various material thicknesses. Manufactured from High Speed Steel Cobalt with steam tempering, this tap delivers the hardness needed to maintain sharp cutting edges whilst working through steel and cast steel materials. The coating enhances cutting fluid retention, reducing friction and improving thread quality. The cylindrical shank with square drive ensures secure mounting in tap wrenches for controlled, accurate threading operations. Features and Benefits: • M5 thread size versatile for light engineering and general assemblies • 3-flute spiral configuration for efficient chip evacuation • 8mm threading length accommodates most M5 applications • HSS-E cobalt construction for durability and precision • Steam tempered finish improves cutting performance Specifications: Diameter: M5 Type: Spiral Flute Shank: Cylindrical shank with Square Premachined hole diameter - millimeter (PHD): 4.2mm Connection diameter - millimeter (DCON MS): 5mm Threading length - millimeter (THL): 8mm Basic standard group (BSG): ISO 529 Thread diameter size (TDZ): 5 Hand (Cutting direction): Right Material code (BMC): High Speed Steel Cobalt Thread form (THFT): M - Metric coarse Flute count (NOF): 3 Alt Part Number (Material ID): 5974394 Material Application Priority Usage: P - Steel and cast steel Package Dimensions: 11.8 x 84 x 9mm Sellable Unit Weight: 10g Package Quantity: 1 Hole Type: Blind Hole Coating: Steam Tempered
