Thread Tap FANAR NARZYNKA M 5×0.5 DIN 22568 HSSE INOX (6g) — metric fine pitch M5 tap

FANAR NARZYNKA M 5×0.5 DIN 22568 HSSE INOX (6g) is a metric fine-pitch M5 tap designed for cutting internal threads to DIN 22568 specifications. Made from high-speed steel with cobalt (HSSE), the tool is intended for use with stainless and alloy steels and offers a 6g tolerance for general-purpose internal threading. It can be used as a hand tap or in machine tapping operations and is suitable for fine-pitch M5 thread production in precision mechanical assemblies.

Advantages

The HSSE material with added cobalt increases cutting edge strength and wear resistance when working with stainless and high-strength alloys. Compliance with DIN 22568 ensures consistent thread form and tolerance control for metric fine-pitch M5 threads. The 6g tolerance provides a usable clearance class for many general assembly applications, and the design supports both manual and machine tapping methods.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M5×0.5 fine-pitch threads in stainless steels
• Threading in alloyed and high-strength steels where increased tool life is required
• Use in portable hand-tapping or in machining centers and tapping heads
• Applications in automotive, instrumentation, and precision metalwork

When it may not be suitable

This M5 fine-pitch tap is not intended for cutting threads in soft non-metallic materials where specialized thread forms or inserts are required. For coarse threads, larger diameters, or materials with extreme hardness beyond typical stainless or alloy steels, a different tap geometry, coating, or material grade may be required.

Key specifications

• Thread size and pitch: M5 × 0.5 (metric fine pitch)
• Standard: DIN 22568
• Material: high-speed steel with cobalt (HSSE)
• Tolerance/class: 6g (internal thread tolerance)
• Intended workpiece materials: stainless steel and alloy steels
• Usage: suitable for hand and machine tapping

How to use

Select an appropriate drill size for the M5×0.5 thread and secure the workpiece. For hand tapping, use a proper tap wrench and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole. Apply suitable cutting fluid compatible with stainless steels to reduce galling and improve chip evacuation. For machine tapping, set correct spindle speed and feed for the material and use a tapping holder or floating tap head if required. Retract periodically to clear chips when tapping deep holes.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with the workpiece material (stainless or alloy steels)
• Ensure the selected tap matches the required thread pitch and tolerance (M5×0.5, 6g)
• Decide whether you will use hand or machine tapping to choose appropriate holders or wrenches
• Check drill size and recommended cutting fluid for best results

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid formulated for stainless steels, moderate spindle speeds, and controlled feed to prolong tool life; maintain straight alignment and regular chip clearing to achieve accurate, burr-free M5×0.5 internal threads.
