Tap FANAR GWINTOWNIK M5 DIN-371C HSSE 6H TiN 800X

FANAR GWINTOWNIK M5 DIN-371C HSSE 6H TiN 800X is a machine tap designed to cut M5 metric threads according to DIN‑371C. Manufactured from high-speed steel with cobalt (HSSE) and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tap is intended for power tapping and machine use in both through and blind hole applications. The 6H tolerance ensures thread fit compatible with standard mating parts used in production and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The HSSE material provides improved wear resistance and heat tolerance compared with conventional high-speed steel, while the TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in series production. DIN‑371C geometry offers reliable chip evacuation and consistent thread form for general-purpose threading in steels and common alloys. The tap is balanced for machine operation to maintain dimensional accuracy and reduce the risk of breakage during power tapping.

Suitable for

• Power tapping on industrial CNC machines and tapping heads
• General-purpose threading in steels and common alloys
• Through-hole and blind-hole M5 threading in production and maintenance
• Series production where extended tool life and consistent threads are required

Key specifications

• Thread size: M5 metric
• DIN geometry: DIN‑371C for general-purpose threading
• Material: HSSE (high-speed steel with cobalt)
• Surface finish: TiN (titanium nitride) coating
• Tolerance class: 6H
• Intended use: machine and power tapping, suitable for through and blind holes

How to use

Secure the workpiece and align the machine tap to the pre-drilled M5-sized hole. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the work material to improve chip flow and reduce heat. Operate at recommended spindle speeds and feed rates for the material and machine type, allowing the tap to cut steadily without excessive axial load. Reverse the tap periodically or employ peck tapping cycles for blind holes to clear chips and prevent clogging. After use, clean and inspect the tap for wear or damage before storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select cutting speeds and lubrication compatible with HSSE taps and the specific work material. When tapping stainless steels or harder alloys, reduce speed and increase coolant flow. Replace the tap if chipping or significant wear is observed to maintain thread quality and avoid part rework.
