Machine Tap FANAR 8 mm C4-118M01-0080 — 8mm thread cutting tool

FANAR machine tap C4-118M01-0080 is an 8 mm thread cutting tool intended for creating or forming internal metric threads in pre-drilled holes. Designed for use in machine tapping setups, this tool is suitable for industrial production, maintenance, and repair work where controlled, repeatable thread creation is required. It is compatible with standard machine holders; consult your machine documentation for recommended speeds and feeds.

Advantages

The tool offers precise thread geometry for consistent assembly fit and reliable thread quality. Manufactured to industrial tolerances, it provides good dimensional stability and repeatability in series production. Its design supports efficient chip evacuation and stable engagement with machine holders, reducing the risk of thread defects when used within recommended parameters.

Suitable for

• Creating internal metric M8 threads in pre-drilled components
• Machine tapping operations on production lines
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring threaded holes
• Use with standard tapping holders on CNC machines and tapping heads

Key specifications

• Thread size: 8 mm (metric internal threads)
• Tool type: machine tap for internal thread cutting/forming
• Intended use: machine tapping (production and workshop)
• Compatibility: designed for standard machine holders and tapping fixtures
• Applications: suitable for metalworking and component assembly tasks

How to use

Select a pre-drilled hole matching the recommended drill diameter for an 8 mm metric thread, secure the workpiece, and mount the tap in an appropriate machine holder or tapping head. Set machine speed and feed according to material and tool manufacturer guidance. Use suitable cutting fluid if cutting threads to improve lubrication and chip removal. Monitor engagement and back out the tap periodically if needed to clear chips and avoid tap breakage.

Usage recommendations

Verify drill size, material type and machine parameters before operation. Use recommended speeds, feeds and cutting fluids for the workpiece material, and ensure the tap is properly aligned and secured in the holder to achieve accurate threads and extend tool life.
