Machine Tap FANAR M8×1 E1-131001-0083 — metric M8 x 1 thread

Machine tap FANAR M8×1 (metric M8 x 1 thread) is a cutting tool intended for producing internal M8×1 threads in machined parts. Designed for machine tapping operations, the tap is suitable for use with automated tapping heads and CNC machines where consistent thread geometry and repeatability are required. It can be used on steel, aluminum and similar engineering materials when correct cutting parameters and lubrication are applied.

Advantages

The FANAR M8×1 machine tap provides accurate thread form and dimensional stability across repeated cycles, supporting efficient production workflows. Its geometry is adapted for machine tapping, enabling reliable engagement with tapped holes and reduced risk of chip jamming when correct feeds and speeds are used. The tool is compatible with standard M8×1 thread specifications and integrates with common tapping fixtures and holders used in industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Automated tapping heads on production lines
• CNC machining centers performing internal threading operations
• Manufacturing of mechanical components in steel and aluminum
• Batch production where repeatable M8×1 threads are required

Key specifications

• Thread form and size: metric M8 × 1
• Intended use: machine tapping (suitable for automated and CNC tapping)
• Material suitability: steel, aluminum and similar workpiece materials when appropriate cutting data are applied
• Application type: internal threading

How to use

Mount the tap securely in a compatible machine tapping holder or collet chuck. Select cutting speed, feed and depth of cut according to the workpiece material and tooling recommendations; for blind holes use pecking cycles or incremental retraction to evacuate chips. Apply suitable cutting fluid or lubricant to improve tool life and surface finish. After threading, inspect thread dimensions and finish with appropriate gauges to ensure compliance with M8×1 specifications.

Usage recommendations

Use manufacturer-recommended feed rates and cutting speeds for the specific workpiece material. For steels, reduce speed and increase lubrication; for aluminum, higher speeds with proper chip evacuation are effective. Regularly inspect the tap for wear or chipping and replace when thread quality deteriorates to maintain consistent production results.
