Machine Tap FANAR M8 (MPN D2-121101-0080)

The Machine Tap FANAR M8 is a precision-engineered cutting tool designed for machine tapping operations to produce internal M8 metric threads. Manufactured by FANAR, this tap is intended for use in industrial and workshop environments where consistent thread quality and repeatability are required. The tool is compatible with standard tapping holders and requires appropriate lubrication and machining parameters for optimal performance.

Advantages

The tap offers precise thread geometry that helps achieve consistent M8 thread profiles and reliable fit with mating fasteners. Its construction provides dimensional stability during repeated cycles, supporting uniform thread quality across batches. The tool is designed for compatibility with machine tapping setups, enabling efficient integration into automated or manual production processes while maintaining accuracy.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M8 metric threads in steel and other machinable metals
• Machine tapping operations in CNC or tapping machines
• Workshop and industrial production environments requiring repeatable thread quality
• Use with tapping holders and appropriate lubricants

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 (metric)
• Intended application: internal thread cutting (machine tapping)
• Compatibility: designed for use with machine tapping holders and standard tapping setups
• Material suitability: suitable for machinable metals (steel, aluminium, etc.) when using correct cutting parameters and lubrication
• Manufacturing standard: precision-ground thread form for consistent thread geometry

How to use

Mount the tap securely in a compatible tapping holder or machine spindle designed for machine tapping. Align the tool perpendicular to the workpiece and use appropriate cutting speed, feed, and torque settings for the material being machined. Apply suitable cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. Perform tapping cycles under controlled feed to prevent tap breakage; retract periodically if required to clear chips in deep or interrupted holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select recommended spindle speed and feed for M8 threads in the specific material, ensure proper alignment and secure clamping of the workpiece, and use quality tapping holders and lubricants. Inspect threads after tapping for dimensional accuracy and surface finish to confirm compliance with requirements.
