Alpha HSS STI Intermediate Tap | Metric Coarse M5.0 x 0.80mm

Prepare a damaged M5.0 x 0.80mm internal thread for a wire insert with Alpha HSS STI Intermediate Tap | Metric Coarse M5.0 x 0.80mm. Unlike a standard fastening tap, this HSS tool cuts the purpose-sized STI thread that receives the insert. Its precision geometry is manufactured to ISO 529 for consistent sizing. The intermediate lead helps guide the tap into the prepared hole and supports a smooth cutting action. Drill to the correct tapping size first, apply suitable lubricant and keep the tap aligned during use. Supplied as one tap for matching Metric Coarse thread repair work.
