Clean M5 Threads for RC Builds

The Arrowmax AM-190053 M5 Taper Tap provides keen thread control for hobbyists working on metal parts of RC cars and trucks. Its tapered geometry helps start threads smoothly and the black golden coating helps resist wear from repeated maintenance tasks.

Designed Around RC Maintenance Needs

This taper tap suits common RC repair jobs where reliable M5 threads are required. It is made to give predictable thread profiles so bolts and studs fit true, which is handy when installing upgrades or replacing hardware.

Is this tap ok for aluminium alloy parts?

Yes, it is intended for common RC alloys. Use gentle cutting action and periodic chip clearing to keep threads clean.

Should I use lubricant while tapping?

Applying a small amount of cutting oil or suitable lubricant improves chip evacuation and reduces friction, making the tap last longer.

How do I align the tap for best results?

Keep the tap perpendicular to the workpiece, begin slowly to build a starter thread, and back out regularly to clear swarf for consistent cuts.

Can this tool be used for preparing new holes?

Yes, it is suitable for cutting new M5 threads after the correct pilot hole has been drilled to the recommended size.
