Questions about this item

How can I confirm the tap is cutting the correct M5 x 0.8 thread after setup?

Check that the finished hole accepts an M5 x 0.8 screw thread insert with a D7 thread limit and that the tap advances smoothly through the 25.40 mm thread length.

What comes with the 2087-5 tap and what must I source separately?

The box contains the uncoated high-speed steel tap with three straight flutes and a plug chamfer; you must supply the drill bit, tapping fluid and the M5 x 0.8 screw thread inserts yourself.

Which version should I choose for a standard M5 x 0.8 coarse thread in a through hole?

Select the 2087-5 plug-chamfer tap with D7 limit, 64.00 mm overall length and three flutes — it is designed for Metric Coarse M5 x 0.8 threads in through-hole applications.
