Machine Tap Art-Pol M8×1.25 mm — metric machine tap for threading M8 with 1.25 mm pitch

Art-Pol machine tap M8×1.25 mm is a precision cutting tool for producing internal metric threads with an M8 diameter and 1.25 mm pitch. Intended for use in machine tapping operations, the tap delivers a consistent thread profile suitable for standard M8 bolts and screws. It is designed for metalworking and mechanical assembly processes where repeatable and accurate threading is required.

Advantages

The machine tap offers precise thread geometry and dimensional accuracy for reliable assembly results. Its design supports machine-driven tapping cycles, ensuring consistent performance across multiple operations. The tool is compatible with common tapping equipment used in production and repair shops, enabling efficient integration into existing workflows.

Suitable for

• Tapping internal metric threads M8×1.25 in steel and other machinable metals
• Production-line and batch tapping operations on lathes or machining centers
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring replacement or creation of M8 threaded holes
• Mechanical assembly where standard M8 fasteners are used

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8
• Pitch: 1.25 mm
• Type: machine tap for use in machine tapping equipment
• Application: internal metric thread cutting

How to use

Select an appropriate machine tapping holder or collet and secure the tap according to the machine manufacturer's instructions. Use correct spindle speed and feed settings for the workpiece material and tap size to avoid breakage. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for the material being tapped to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life. Perform tapping with steady axial alignment and controlled feed; retract the tap periodically if needed to clear chips.

Usage recommendations

Match cutting speed and lubrication to the workpiece material, use a properly aligned tool holder, and verify thread fit with a gauge or test fastener after tapping. For damaged threads or harder materials, consider pre-drilling to the recommended drill size and choose appropriate tap coatings or grades for better wear resistance.
