NATO Supply Class 5136 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 51, which is dedicated to Hand Tools. Specifically, Class 5136 focuses on Taps, Dies, and Collets, both for hand and machine use.

Taps, Dies, and Collets are essential tools used in various industries, particularly in metalworking and machining processes. Here's a brief explanation of each:

1. Taps: Taps are cutting tools used to create internal threads in holes. They come in various sizes and types, such as hand taps, machine taps, and pipe taps. Taps are commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

2. Dies: Dies are cutting tools used to create external threads on cylindrical objects, such as rods or pipes. Similar to taps, dies come in different sizes and types, including hand dies and machine dies. Dies are widely used in industries that require threaded components, such as plumbing, construction, and mechanical engineering.

3. Collets: Collets are devices used to hold and secure workpieces or cutting tools in machine tools like lathes, milling machines, and grinders. They provide a precise and reliable grip, ensuring accurate machining operations. Collets are available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different workpiece diameters and tool shanks.

NATO Supply Class 5136 encompasses both hand-operated and machine-operated taps, dies, and collets. This classification ensures that NATO member countries have a standardized system for procuring these tools for military and defense purposes.
