Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps displace material rather than cut it, producing stronger threads with no chips. This tap is manufactured from high-speed steel and carries a V finish. It measures 3.1496 inches overall length with a 1.0 inch thread length and a 0.255 inch shank diameter. The 0.191 inch square drive end fits standard tap wrenches and holders. It is sized for use in precision machining, maintenance, and repair threading operations where an STI (screw thread insert) insert is the final fastener interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading operations in both production and repair environments. The M5 x 0.8 thread size and semi-bottoming chamfer make it appropriate for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes. It performs across a range of workpiece materials including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel alloys, hardened steel, and titanium alloy. The D4 thread limit and 6H class of fit ensure dimensional accuracy compatible with standard metric fasteners and helicoil-style thread inserts used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool and die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material for chip-free, stronger threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM5 x 0.8 metric coarse thread, D4 thread limit, 6H class of fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSemi-bottoming chamfer for through-holes and moderate blind-hole depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across multiple workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eV finish on high-speed steel base for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare drive shank (0.191 inches) compatible with standard tap wrenches and holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in tapping operations requiring M5 x 0.8 metric coarse STI threads across carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel alloys, hardened steel, and titanium alloy workpieces.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct diameter for M5 x 0.8 thread forming before tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tool life. Do not force the tap or reverse sharply, as thread forming taps are more sensitive to misalignment than cutting taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M5 x 0.8 Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.1496 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.255 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.191 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Semi-Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Nickel, Hardened Steel, Titanium Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16360\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: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1636000508\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51733500821810,"sku":"1636000508","price":98.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3299a5522130241ca27ef656891389e6_b0183987-b150-4504-bf1a-de7896a38285.jpg?v=1788755926","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1636000508-thread-forming-sti-tap-m5x0-8-metric-coarse","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
