Sized at M5 x 0.8, it features a plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads of lead — which balances starting ease with thread engagement depth. Built from high-carbon steel with a black oxide coating, this tap resists corrosion and handles the moderate heat generated during hand or machine tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 3-flute design channels chips efficiently in through-hole applications, and the tap meets Class 2B thread fit tolerances for standard fastener compatibility. Machinists, maintenance techs, and trade professionals use this tap for general threading tasks in fabrication, repair, and assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading M5 x 0.8 holes in light-to-medium production and maintenance environments. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment fabrication, electrical enclosure work, plumbing fixture assembly, and general industrial maintenance where metric threading is required. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a thread length of 25.40 mm, it fits standard tap handles and machine tool chucks used in bench and drill-press tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM5 x 0.8 metric thread size with plug chamfer for balanced starting and thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for general-purpose tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute straight flute geometry promotes chip evacuation in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 2B thread fit tolerance for compatibility with standard M5 metric fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction for conventional threading operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style straight flute tap for general M5 x 0.8 right-hand thread cutting in through-hole applications across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTapping operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with proper cutting speeds and lubricant selection for the workpiece material. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before tapping, and use an appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machinery lockout procedures when using power tapping equipment. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use — a worn tap can damage threads or break off in the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M5 x 0.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MILWAUKEE TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49-57-5129\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722812424498,"sku":"49-57-5129","price":16.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a200549cf0c0c5c12cd52cf355e31a6a.jpg?v=1788596256","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-tool-49-57-5129-m5-x-0-8-straight-flute-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
