Tap set Art-Pol M8 x 1.25 mm, 2-piece thread taps

Art-Pol 2-piece tap set for M8 x 1.25 mm provides two hand taps designed for cutting and repairing internal metric threads. The compact set is intended for manual tapping operations in metal, plastic and other machinable materials where M8 x 1.25 internal threads are required. The tools are supplied as a matched pair to allow progressive cutting and improved thread quality during workshop and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The two-piece configuration offers staged cutting to reduce the risk of tap breakage and to improve thread accuracy. Taps are suitable for manual use, enabling controlled tapping in confined spaces and on assemblies where machine tapping is impractical. The compact set is easy to store and transport, making it convenient for on-site repair and maintenance work.

• Cutting new internal M8 x 1.25 threads in metal or plastic
• Repairing damaged or worn M8 x 1.25 threads
• Workshop, maintenance and on-site service tasks
• Manual tapping where a tap wrench or hand tool is used

How to use

Select the correct tap for the initial cut and secure the workpiece. Use an appropriate tap wrench or holder and align the tap perpendicular to the hole axis. Apply cutting fluid if working with metal to reduce friction and extend tap life. Turn the tap slowly, advancing a few turns and then reversing slightly to break chips. After the initial pass, use the second tap to finish the thread to full depth and clean any remaining chips. Inspect the thread with a corresponding bolt or gauge to verify fit.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable cutting fluid for metal work and clear chips frequently. For blind holes, withdraw the tap periodically to remove chips. Choose the correct drill size for the tap to ensure proper thread engagement. Store the taps dry and protected to avoid corrosion and damage to the cutting edges.
