Hand Tap Set FANAR M8, 3 pieces (MPN A4-235D51-0080)

FANAR hand tap set for M8 comprises three taps designed for manual cutting and repair of internal threads. The set is intended for creating or restoring M8 threads in metal components, sheet metal and machine parts during workshop, construction or maintenance tasks. Compact and portable, the set is supplied as a matched series of taps to cover progressive thread formation and reconditioning operations.

Advantages

The trio of taps is manufactured to provide consistent thread form and fit for M8 applications. The set supports progressive tapping stages to reduce cutting forces and minimise damage to the workpiece. Its compact format allows easy transport and storage in a toolbox or work vest. Designed for hand operation, the taps offer control and precision where power tools are not appropriate or available.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M8 internal threads in metal components
• Repairing or rethreading worn or damaged M8 threads
• Manual tapping in maintenance and on-site repair work
• Workshop threading tasks on steel, aluminium and similar materials

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8
• Number of pieces: 3 taps
• Intended use: manual hand tapping for internal threads
• Application area: metalworking, maintenance, construction
• Form: progressive set covers roughing and finishing stages

How to use

Select the appropriate tap from the set for the intended stage (starter/roughing then intermediate and finishing). Secure the workpiece and centre a correctly sized pilot hole before starting. Mount the tap in a suitable tap wrench, align it perpendicular to the workpiece, then apply steady pressure while turning the tap clockwise to cut threads. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips and prevent jamming. Use the finishing tap to complete the thread form and verify fit with a mating bolt or fastener.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting lubricant for the material being tapped to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Ensure correct pilot hole diameter for M8 threads and inspect taps for wear before use; replace any tap showing damage or excessive wear. For stainless steel or hard alloys, take lighter cuts and allow frequent chip removal to avoid breakage.
