Eagle Cutting Tool MT-050-080-B-I M5.0x0.80 Hss Metric Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-050-080-B-I is an M5.0x0.80 high-speed steel (HSS) bottom tap designed for threading metric holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. As a bottom tap, it cuts threads to the full depth of blind holes, making it the right choice when thread engagement must run close to the bottom of a drilled cavity. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics reach for a bottom tap at the final stage of a three-tap sequence or anytime a thread must be run out fully before the hole terminates.

This tap is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and field maintenance applications wherever M5.0x0.80 metric threads are required. The 0.80 mm pitch is the standard coarse pitch for M5 fasteners, making this tap compatible with the most common M5 hardware found in general mechanical assemblies, light structural work, and equipment repair. It is an import-grade tool appropriate for production runs and general-purpose threading tasks.

Key Features

• Bottom tap geometry threads blind holes to near-full depth
• M5.0x0.80 metric coarse pitch matches standard M5 fastener specification
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness suitable for threading steel, aluminum, and similar materials
• Minimum order quantity of 1 allows single-unit purchase

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank HSS metric bottom tap for use in hand-tap handles, T-handle tap wrenches, or machine tapping fixtures that accept M5 tap shank sizes.

Installation Notes

Tapping should be performed by a machinist or qualified tradesperson following standard threading procedures. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for M5x0.80 threads before starting. Apply cutting fluid or tapping compound to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Back off the tap periodically to break chips when threading deep blind holes.
