Machine Metric Tap FANAR M8 C2-113X01-0083 — M8 metric machine tap for cutting internal threads

FANAR machine metric tap M8 (model C2-113X01-0083) is a precision cutting tool designed for producing M8 internal threads in metal components. Intended for machine tapping operations, the tap offers consistent thread geometry and repeatable performance for production and repair environments. It is suitable for use in CNC machines, tapping heads and machining centres where an M8 metric thread is required.

Advantages

The tap is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances to ensure accurate M8 thread profiles and reliable thread fit. Its geometry and cutting edges are optimised for machine tapping, reducing the risk of thread distortion and improving surface finish. The tool provides consistent performance in serial production and single-part repairs, and its compatibility with common machine tapping systems simplifies integration into existing workflows.

Suitable for

• Cutting M8 internal threads in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Machine tapping operations in CNC lathes and milling machines
• Use with tapping heads and automatic tapping attachments
• Production runs and maintenance/repair threading tasks

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 metric
• Type: machine tap for internal threading
• Intended application: cutting threads in metal components during machine tapping
• Geometry: precision-ground cutting edges suitable for mechanical tapping
• Compatibility: designed for use in CNC machines, tapping heads and machining centres

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure proper alignment of the tapping spindle or tapping head before starting. Select appropriate cutting speed and feed for the workpiece material and machine type. Use cutting fluid suitable for the material to improve chip evacuation and tool life. Run the tap through the hole using the machine's tapping cycle or a controlled spindle reversal to avoid breakage. After threading, retract the tap slowly and inspect the thread for correct form and dimensional accuracy.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match cutting speeds and feeds to the material being threaded and use appropriate coolant or lubricant. Regularly inspect the tap for wear or damage and replace when thread quality deteriorates. When using automatic tapping heads, ensure torque and spindle settings are adjusted to prevent tap breakage.
