RUKO HGB-DIN2181-HSS-60°-MF-5x0.50mm handtap

Hand tap for cutting metric fine threads with a 60° flank angle, made from high-speed steel for durability in manual threading operations. Its precision ground flutes ensure clean thread profiles in through and blind holes.

Advantages

High-speed steel construction provides wear resistance and long tool life. The 60° flank angle conforms to standard metric thread geometry, ensuring compatibility with common fasteners. Bright surface finish reduces friction during cutting.

Suitable for

• Hand tapping of M5 x 0.50 mm metric fine threads
• Use with tap wrenches featuring a 3.0 mm square drive
• Finishing cuts to achieve final thread tolerance ISO 2 (6H)
