Machine Tap FANAR M8 D2-511101-0080, metric M8 thread

Machine tap FANAR M8 D2-511101-0080 is a single metric M8 machine tap designed to cut or restore internal M8 threads in machining operations. Manufactured by FANAR, the tap is intended for use in tapping heads or machine spindles where consistent, precision M8 threading is required. It is supplied as an individual machine tap suitable for production environments and workshop use.

Advantages

This machine tap provides accurate and repeatable M8 thread cutting thanks to its geometry optimized for machine tapping. It is compatible with standard tapping heads and spindles, allowing straightforward integration into existing machining setups. The single-piece supply allows users to replace worn taps quickly and maintain process continuity in production or repair operations.

Suitable for

• Cutting new internal metric M8 threads in metal components
• Restoring damaged or worn M8 threads
• Use in CNC machines, tapping heads, and drilling/tapping machines
• Small-batch production and maintenance/repair workshops

Key specifications

• Thread size: metric M8
• Type: machine tap for internal threading
• Intended mounting: tapping head or machine spindle
• Supply format: single tap

How to use

Mount the tap securely in an appropriate tapping head or machine spindle, ensuring correct alignment with the workpiece. Select the recommended cutting speed and feed for the material being machined and apply suitable cutting fluid if required. Engage the tap with controlled axial feed; for through-holes use continuous feed, and for blind holes use pecking or withdrawing cycles to clear chips. After completing the thread cutting, reverse the spindle to remove the tap and inspect the thread for dimensional and surface quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material, monitor tap wear, and replace the tap when thread quality deteriorates to maintain consistent M8 thread dimensions and surface finish.
