5-.80 MET SPIRAL POINT TAP - KnKut

The KnKut KK22M-5-.80 5-.80 MET Spiral Point Tap is a professional-grade threading tool engineered for precision and efficiency in automotive and industrial applications. Designed specifically for through-hole tapping, this tap features a unique spiral point that actively pushes chips forward, ensuring clear flutes and preventing common issues like chip clogging and binding. This design promotes higher cutting speeds, reduced torque requirements, and produces consistently clean, accurate threads, making it an indispensable tool for professional technicians and mechanics.

Key Features

• Optimized Chip Evacuation: The spiral point design efficiently drives chips forward and out of the hole, minimizing clogging and reducing the risk of tap breakage, especially in stringy materials.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-tungsten and high-molybdenum tool steel, KnKut Performance Taps offer exceptional durability and wear resistance, extending tool life in demanding environments.
• Precision Ground Threads: Each tap features precision ground threads for superior accuracy and performance, ensuring consistent thread quality.
• Reduced Friction and Heat: Form-relieved threads and a double back taper reduce drag and heat buildup during operation, contributing to a smoother tapping experience and prolonged tool integrity.
• Metric M5x0.80 Thread: This tap produces a standard M5x0.80 metric coarse thread, ideal for a wide range of fastening applications.

Applications

This KnKut spiral point tap is ideal for creating new threads or repairing damaged ones in various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass. Its design makes it particularly effective for high-speed, high-precision through-hole tapping in CNC machining centers, automated tapping machines, and general industrial production environments where consistent performance and reliability are paramount. It is also recommended for use in harder metals such as stainless steels.
