Machine Tap FANAR M8 extended (MPN D2-511121-0080)

FANAR extended machine tap for cutting M8 threads. Designed for machine tapping operations, this extended-length M8 tap allows threading of recessed or deep holes where standard-length taps cannot reach. The tool is intended for metalworking applications and is compatible with standard machine holders used in drilling and tapping machines. Material suitability and thread profile follow common M8 internal thread specifications for reliable engagement.

Advantages

The extended length provides improved access to deep or recessed holes, reducing the need for additional tooling or setup changes. The design ensures consistent thread form and engagement when used in appropriate machine tapping setups. Compatibility with standard machine holders facilitates quick installation and replacement during production runs.

Suitable for

• Cutting M8 internal threads in through-holes and blind holes
• Tapping deep or recessed bores where standard taps do not reach
• Machine tapping operations on lathes, milling machines, and dedicated tapping units
• General metalworking applications in steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials (subject to correct cutting parameters)

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 internal thread
• Tool type: machine tap with extended shank/overall length
• Application: machine tapping for metalworking
• Compatibility: fits standard machine tap holders and collets
• Intended use: cutting internal metric threads in machinery and fabrication tasks

How to use

Mount the extended M8 machine tap securely in the appropriate machine holder or collet, ensuring proper alignment with the hole axis. Select cutting speed, feed, and lubrication suitable for the workpiece material and tap geometry. Perform tapping cycles using the machine's tapping cycle or synchronized spindle reversal to avoid overloading the tap. Withdraw the tap carefully after threading to clear chips and inspect the thread quality. Replace the tap if wear or damage is observed to maintain thread accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid and correct machine tapping settings for the specific workpiece material. For blind holes, ensure sufficient chip evacuation and consider peck tapping or specialized chip breakers when machining materials prone to long stringy chips. Inspect threads after tapping and follow recommended maintenance for the tool holder to preserve alignment and accuracy.
