Thread Forming Tap M5x0.80
The Cleveland C59428 is a high-speed steel thread forming tap designed for creating internal threads in ductile materials. It features a metric M5 size with a 0.80 pitch and a bright uncoated finish. This tool suits maintenance technicians and metalworkers who need to form threads without producing chips.
Replaces Cutting Taps in Ductile Metals
Unlike cutting taps, this forming tap displaces material to create stronger threads with improved surface finish. The switch is worth it when working with aluminium, copper, or mild steel where chip evacuation is difficult. It eliminates chip binding issues common with fluted taps in blind holes.
Limited to Formable Materials
The forming process requires ductile workpieces and cannot be used on brittle alloys or hardened steels. A precise 4.60 mm drill size is mandatory to achieve the correct 75 percent thread engagement. The D7 thread limit and 6H class of fit define the tolerance envelope for the finished thread.

Questions about this item
What drill bit size do I need for the M5-0.80 thread forming tap?
Use a 4.60 mm drill bit to achieve the 75 percent thread engagement specified for this tap.
How do I start the tap correctly in the hole?
Align the tap squarely with the drilled hole and apply steady forward pressure while turning the plug-chamfered lead to form threads without cutting.
When should I replace this thread forming tap?
Replace the tap when thread formation becomes inconsistent or the formed threads no longer meet the 6H class of fit.
