Overview:
The Volkel Metric Tap M5 x 0.80 Plug Cut is a single, hand-use tap for cutting accurate internal metric threads in metal.

Designed for use with a tap wrench or T‐handle, it is ideal for workshop maintenance and fabrication tasks on machinery, brackets, housings, and fixtures. Thread form is ISO metric to DIN 13, ensuring compatibility with standard M5 fasteners. Sold individually under MPN 804/034C, this tap is a practical, reliable choice for both tradespeople and DIY users needing precise M5 x 0.80 threads.
