Machine Tap FANAR model C4-528M01-0050, 5 mm thread

FANAR machine tap C4-528M01-0050 is a straight-fluted cutting tool for producing internal 5 mm metric threads in machine tapping operations. Designed for use on lathes, tapping heads, and CNC machines, this tap is intended for workshop and production environments where consistent, accurate internal threads are required. It serves as a replacement or spare tool for industrial tapping processes and is compatible with metals and other materials that suit machine tapping.

Advantages

This machine tap provides precise thread geometry and repeatable performance in automated and manual machining setups. Its design supports stable chip evacuation during machine tapping, reducing the risk of tap breakage and improving process reliability. Built to match typical industrial tolerances, the tap helps maintain thread quality across production runs while being easy to install and replace in standard tapping holders.

Suitable for

• Internal 5 mm metric threading in metal components
• Tapping on lathes, tapping heads, and CNC machining centers
• Production and repair workshop tapping tasks
• Replacement or spare tool in industrial tapping operations

Key specifications

• Thread size: M5 (5 mm internal thread)
• Tool type: machine tap for internal threading
• Flute style: straight flutes suitable for machine tapping
• Application: designed for use in machine tapping on lathes, tapping heads, and CNC machines
• Intended materials: metals and materials compatible with machine tapping

How to use

Mount the tap in an appropriate machine tapping holder or collet that matches the tap shank and the machine spindle requirements. Set the machine to the recommended spindle speed and feed for the material being machined and ensure proper alignment with the hole axis. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to improve lubrication and chip evacuation. Engage the tap in the hole, execute the tapping cycle according to machine controls, and retract carefully after cutting to clear chips. Inspect the produced thread for form and size after each operation.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, select spindle speed and feed rates suitable for M5 thread cutting in the workpiece material, apply correct cutting fluid, and verify tap alignment before each run. Replace the tap if wear or damage appears to avoid poor thread quality or breakage.
