Tap (machine) FANAR M8 Extended F1-151001-0080

Machine tap FANAR M8 Extended F1-151001-0080 is a precision threaded cutting tool intended for producing M8 internal threads. As an extended-length machine tap, it provides additional reach compared with standard taps, allowing tapping operations in recessed, deep, or otherwise hard-to-access holes on compatible workpieces and machines. The tool is designed for use in industrial and workshop environments where machine tapping processes are applied to produce repeatable, accurate M8 threads.

Advantages

The extended shank length improves access and reduces the need for special fixturing when threading deep or recessed holes. Being a machine tap, it delivers consistent thread geometry and surface finish when used with appropriate machine feeds and speeds. The construction and heat treatment of the tool ensure dimensional stability and wear resistance under normal machining conditions, supporting higher productivity and predictable tool life compared with general-purpose hand taps.

Suitable for

• Creating M8 internal threads in blind or deep holes
• Machine tapping operations on lathes, milling machines, and dedicated tapping machines
• Workshop and light industrial production where extended reach is required
• Applications requiring consistent thread quality and repeatability

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 internal thread
• Type: machine tap (extended/long)
• Intended use: producing metric threads in through or blind holes with machine tapping
• Material and surface: manufactured and treated for typical machining wear resistance (specific coating or grade depends on production batch)
• Shank form: suitable for machine chucking or collet mounting

How to use

Select the tap for the correct M8 thread and verify that the tap fits the machine spindle or collet holder. Secure the workpiece and ensure axial alignment between tap and hole. Use the recommended diameter for the tap drill to achieve the correct thread engagement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for the workpiece material to improve chip evacuation and reduce wear. Operate the machine at suitable spindle speed and feed for machine tapping, and use pecking or retract cycles as needed to clear chips in blind holes. Inspect threads after tapping to confirm dimensional accuracy and surface finish.

Usage recommendations

Use machine tap FANAR M8 Extended in equipment capable of rigid, controlled axial feed. For deep or blind holes, employ periodic retracts to evacuate chips and prevent tap breakage. Match cutting speed and lubricant to the workpiece material and replace the tap when signs of wear affect thread quality.
