EXACT single-cut thread tap M5 x 15 mm (HSSG) with 1/4" 6‑pt hex shank

EXACT single-cut thread tap M5 x 15 mm (HSSG) — a compact, self‑centring tapping tool designed for rapid insertion into 1/4" bit holders and suited to workshop and light production tapping tasks.

• HSSG ground high-speed steel for durability
• 1/4" (6.3 mm) hex shank to DIN 3126
• Self‑centring design for accurate tapping
• Thread length 15 mm, total length 36 mm

Faster, cleaner thread starts for efficient production

The ground HSSG cutting material delivers a sharp, wear‑resistant cutting edge that supports consistent thread quality over multiple cycles. The single‑cut geometry, combined with a short 4–5‑stage chamfer, reduces insertion torque and helps control chip formation during the initial thread engagement. This results in fewer cross‑threads and less rework, which increases throughput in batch tasks and reduces cycle cost per part. The construction is optimised for repeatable performance in standard tapping sequences, where process stability and component conformity are priorities.

Reduced downtime with rapid tool changes and secure holding

Equipped with a 1/4" (6.3 mm) 6‑point hex shank to DIN 3126, the tool slips straight into common quick‑change bit holders and power tool chucks, enabling fast swaps between operations. The hex interface ensures positive drive and minimises slippage under torque, while the compact overall length of 36 mm supports access in confined setups. The combination of a standardised shank and the self‑centring profile shortens set‑up times and helps maintain concentricity across a production run, which is particularly beneficial when frequent tool changes are part of the workflow.

Precise M5 tapping with long‑lasting edge life

With a M5 x 15 mm thread length, the tap provides sufficient engagement for secure threads in typical metalworking applications while remaining compact for close‑quarter work. The single‑cut form makes chip evacuation predictable and aids finishing, producing consistent thread form without aggressive material removal. For workshops seeking dependable threaded connections and a tool that balances accessibility with longevity, this tapping tool offers an efficient compromise between precision and service life, reducing the likelihood of premature tool replacement and supporting steady output quality.

FAQ

What materials is this tap intended for?
The EXACT single‑cut thread tap M5 x 15 mm (HSSG) is made from HSSG, a ground high‑speed steel suited to common workshop materials and general steel tapping tasks, giving balanced wear resistance and edge stability.

Can the tap be used in quick‑change holders and impact drivers?
Yes, the 1/4" (6.3 mm) 6‑pt hex shank to DIN 3126 is compatible with standard quick‑change bit holders and many power tool chucks; the hex interface ensures positive torque transmission for secure tapping.

How does the 4–5‑stage chamfer affect performance?
The short 4–5‑stage chamfer provides a progressive thread entry that eases initial engagement, improves chip control and reduces the risk of misalignment at the start of tapping.

Is the thread length sufficient for repair and assembly work?
A 15 mm thread length offers reliable engagement for many assembly and repair tasks where secure M5 threads are required while keeping the tool compact for restricted spaces.
