ANXCD5AWSShort Thread Long Chip Spiral Flute Tap Whitworth 5AWSSold0pcsMade of HSS-EX, the 5AWS is a French-brand spiral flute tap, ideal for tapping blind (non-through) holes — its spiral flutes pull chips back toward the shank, keeping the hole bottom clear. Available in 22 sizes (thread dia 1~9, pitch 10~40, thread length 2.5mm, overall length 46~105mm, shank dia 4~14mm). A TiN coating adds a hard golden film for better wear and anti-galling, extending tool life. Suitable for machining non-ferrous metals like aluminium and copper, workpiece hardness up to HRC30. French brand, consistent quality.

Product Overview: HSS Short Thread Long-Chip Material Spiral Flute Tap Imperial – 5AWS Series
【Product Features & Why We Recommend It】
- French Brand Professional Quality: Originating from a professional French cutting tool brand with rigorous quality control — recommended for users with high demands on imperial non-ferrous metal spiral blind hole tapping accuracy and tool consistency.
- Short Thread Long-Chip Material Imperial Blind Hole Dedicated Geometry: Features an imperial spiral flute tap geometry specifically optimized for the long-chip cutting characteristics of aluminum alloys and copper materials — the spiral design pulls chips upward and out, recommended for non-ferrous metal imperial blind hole tapping operations, effectively managing long chip upward evacuation and preventing hole bottom chip accumulation to ensure smooth imperial blind hole tapping and thread quality.
- HSS-EX Ultra-High Performance Substrate: Manufactured with HSS-EX ultra-high performance high-speed steel, delivering superior hardness, toughness, and wear resistance compared to standard HSS and HSS-CO — recommended for long-duration stable imperial spiral blind hole tapping of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys and copper materials.
- TiN Coating Enhancement: The surface is treated with TiN coating, providing good wear resistance — combined with the short thread geometry design to effectively suppress built-up edge adhesion during non-ferrous metal machining, recommended for continuous imperial spiral blind hole tapping of aluminum alloys and copper materials to extend tool service life.
- 22 Imperial Specification Precise Coverage: Available in thread diameter 1–9 inches and pitch 10–40 TPI across 22 specifications — recommended as the dedicated high-performance stock tool for non-ferrous metal imperial blind hole spiral tapping, covering common British standard non-ferrous metal workpiece blind hole tapping requirements.
【Machining Applications & Uses】
- Primary Use: Aluminum alloy and copper imperial blind hole spiral tapping, precision non-ferrous metal component imperial blind hole thread forming, and NC machining center non-ferrous metal imperial automatic blind hole tapping.
- Recommended Work Materials:
- N-Class (Non-Ferrous Metals): Aluminum alloys (6061, 7075, 5-series aluminum), pure copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals — the sole dedicated recommended application scenario for this series, where the short thread long-chip material imperial dedicated spiral geometry combined with HSS-EX substrate and TiN coating effectively addresses the unique non-ferrous metal imperial blind hole tapping challenges of long chip management, hole bottom chip accumulation, built-up edge, and adhesion, recommended for use with appropriate cutting fluid to ensure imperial thread quality.
