Hand Tap Set FANAR M8x1, 2 pieces (thread size M8×1)

FANAR hand tap set for M8×1 consists of two manual taps designed to cut and restore internal metric threads with a pitch of 1 mm. The set is intended for manual use in workshops and field maintenance, enabling precise formation of M8×1 threads in metal components, fittings and assemblies. Compact and straightforward, the two-piece set covers initial cutting and finishing operations required for reliable threaded connections.

Advantages

The FANAR hand tap set provides accurate thread geometry and consistent results when used with appropriate cutting fluid and correct technique. The two-step configuration simplifies progressive removal of material and reduces the risk of damaging the thread profile. The compact set is convenient to store and transport, and its manual operation requires no power source, making it suitable for on-site repairs and routine maintenance.

Suitable for

• Cutting new internal metric threads M8×1 in metal parts
• Repairing or restoring worn or damaged M8×1 threads in assemblies
• Workshop metalworking, light fabrication and maintenance tasks
• Field service and on-site mechanical repairs where portability is needed

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8×1 (metric)
• Number of pieces: 2 (progressive tapping stages)
• Intended use: manual hand tapping for internal threads
• Material compatibility: suitable for common metals used in mechanical components
• Form factor: compact set for easy storage and transport

How to use

Select an appropriate drill size for the M8×1 thread and prepare the hole with proper alignment. Secure the workpiece and apply a suitable cutting fluid to the hole and tap. Start with the first (roughing) tap to begin the thread, maintaining straight alignment and turning the tap a half to a full rotation forward, then back a quarter turn to break chips. Progress to the second (finishing) tap to achieve final thread dimensions and surface quality, repeating the forward-and-back technique until the tap reaches the required depth. Clean the threaded hole and inspect the thread for fit and accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use steady, aligned pressure and appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. For hardened or abrasive materials, consider following manufacturer guidance for tapping speeds or using taps designed for high-strength alloys. Clean chips frequently to prevent clogging and avoid excessive force when tapping to reduce the risk of tap breakage.
