Machine tap FANAR M8 (model C2-118801-0080) for metric threads

FANAR machine tap M8 (model C2-118801-0080) is a threaded cutting tool designed for producing M8 metric internal threads. Intended for use in machine tapping operations, this tap provides consistent thread geometry and is suitable for metalworking environments where repeatable M8 threads are required. The tool is compatible with standard tapping machines and spindle-driven tapping units used in industrial and workshop settings.

Advantages

The FANAR machine tap M8 delivers precise thread profiles and reliable cutting performance for M8 metric tapping. Manufactured to maintain dimensional accuracy, it reduces rework and supports consistent assembly fit. Its design facilitates efficient chip evacuation during machine tapping, which helps preserve cutting edges and maintain tool life under appropriate operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Creating M8 internal threads in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals when using machine tapping operations
• High-volume production and repetitive tapping in manufacturing or fabrication shops
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring replacement or re-cutting of M8 threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 metric internal thread
• Intended use: machine tapping operations (spindle or tapping head)
• Cutting geometry: designed for consistent thread form and chip evacuation during machine use
• Application materials: suitable for common engineering metals including steel and non-ferrous alloys

How to use

Select the correct drill size for the M8 tap pilot hole according to standard tapping charts, secure the workpiece, and align the tap with the hole axis. Use a tapping machine or spindle-driven tapping head with appropriate speed and feed settings for the workpiece material. Apply suitable cutting fluid to improve chip flow and reduce heat. Monitor cutting forces and feed rates; withdraw periodically if necessary to clear chips and prevent clogging. After tapping, inspect thread form and dimensions to verify compliance with the required M8 thread tolerance.

Usage recommendations

Use recommended pilot hole diameters and cutting speeds for the specific workpiece material, maintain proper lubrication during tapping, and ensure the tapping machine is set for axial alignment and stable feed to extend tool life and achieve accurate M8 threads.
