Machine Tap FANAR M8 C2-121101-0080 — metric M8 machine threading

The FANAR machine tap M8 C2-121101-0080 is a precision tool intended for cutting internal metric M8 threads in workpieces using tapping machines and CNC equipment. Manufactured for machine threading operations, this tap is suitable for use in metalworking shops where consistent M8 threads in steels and similar materials are required. The design supports production and repair tasks that demand repeatable thread quality and compatibility with standard M8 fasteners.

Advantages

This machine tap provides accurate thread form and dimensional stability for M8 metric internal threads when used in appropriate machines. Its geometry and cutting edges are optimized for machine-driven tapping, ensuring efficient chip evacuation and reduced tool wear in typical metalworking conditions. The tap is compatible with standard tooling setups for production and maintenance work, offering reliable performance in repetitive operations.

Suitable for

• Machine tapping centers and CNC machining where M8 internal threads are required
• Workshop production lines performing batch threading in steel and similar materials
• Repair and maintenance operations requiring replacement or rethreading of M8 holes
• Toolrooms and service shops performing precision threading for assemblies

Key specifications

• Thread type: metric internal thread, nominal size M8
• Intended use: machine threading (tapping machines, CNC)
• Material compatibility: steels and similar metal materials used in general metalworking
• Application: production and repair operations requiring standardized M8 threads

How to use

Secure the workpiece and set up the tapping machine or CNC thread program for an M8 thread cycle following machine manufacturer guidelines. Use appropriate cutting speed, feed, and coolant for the workpiece material to optimize tool life and thread quality. Align the tap accurately with the hole axis, and run the tapping cycle—ensure controlled entry and withdrawal to avoid excessive tool load or breakage. Inspect threads after tapping for dimensional conformity and surface condition.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid suitable for the workpiece material to improve chip evacuation and reduce tool wear. For harder steels or interrupted cuts, reduce feed rates and verify alignment before full production runs. Replace or recondition taps showing wear or damaged cutting edges to maintain consistent thread quality.
