Machine tap FANAR M8 C2-125501-0080 for cutting M8 metric threads

FANAR machine tap M8 (model for cutting M8 metric threads) is a precision cutting tool intended for creating internal M8 threads in through-holes and blind holes during machine tapping operations. Manufactured to match standard M8 thread geometry, the tap is suitable for use in production lines and workshop equipment where consistent, repeatable thread quality is required. The tool is designed for compatibility with machine tap holders and automated tapping units commonly used in machining centres.

Advantages

The tap offers accurate thread profile reproduction and consistent dimensional accuracy across repeated operations. Its design supports efficient chip evacuation and reduces the risk of thread damage when used with appropriate cutting parameters and lubrication. Constructed for mechanical stability in machine tapping setups, it provides reliable performance in standard industrial conditions and helps maintain process repeatability.

Suitable for

• Tapping M8 internal threads in metal components
• Production and batch machining where consistent thread quality is required
• Use in machine tap holders, tapping heads, and automated tapping units
• Workshop repairs and fabrication tasks requiring M8 metric threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 metric internal thread
• Intended application: machine tapping (automated or manual machine holders)
• Geometry: standard M8 thread profile compatible with metric fasteners
• Typical materials: suitable for machining common engineering materials (steel, stainless steel, aluminium) when correct cutting conditions are applied
• Form factor: machine tap designed for use with machine holders and tapping devices

How to use

Secure the workpiece and align the hole to be tapped with the machine spindle or tapping head. Select appropriate cutting speed, feed and penetration depth according to the workpiece material and machine capabilities. Apply suitable cutting fluid or lubricant to improve chip evacuation and reduce tool wear. Start the machine tapping cycle, monitoring for smooth chip formation and stable cutting conditions. Retract the tap carefully after cutting to clear chips and avoid thread damage. Inspect the produced thread for dimensional accuracy and fit with M8 fasteners.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate tapping parameters for the material being machined, maintain proper lubrication, and ensure the tap is mounted rigidly in the machine holder to achieve reliable M8 thread quality and prolong tool life.
