Machine Tap FANAR M8x1 extended thread cutting tap (model F1-151001-0083)

FANAR machine tap M8x1 extended thread cutting tap is designed for cutting metric internal threads with a 1.0 mm pitch in production and metalworking environments. The tool features an extended length to reach deeper or recessed holes and is intended for machine tapping operations on machining centers and lathes. It can be used for both through and blind holes depending on the setup and coolant strategy, and it is compatible with standard tap holders and automatic tapping spindles.

Advantages

The extended length provides improved access to hard-to-reach bores while maintaining alignment in machine tapping setups. Manufactured to rigid dimensional and cutting tolerances, the tap ensures consistent thread form and repeatable performance in series production. Its geometry balances cutting efficiency and chip evacuation, reducing the risk of chip jamming during automated cycles. The tool is compatible with common machine holders, facilitating quick integration into existing toolsets.

Suitable for

• Machine tapping on CNC milling machines and machining centers
• Automatic tapping with tapping heads and spindles
• Production of internal metric threads M8 × 1.0 in steel, aluminium and non-ferrous alloys (with appropriate cutting parameters)
• Tapping in through holes and shallow blind holes when setup and coolant allow

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 × 1.0 (metric, 1.0 mm pitch)
• Tool type: machine tap with extended shank for deeper reach
• Intended use: internal thread cutting in machine tapping operations
• Compatibility: fits standard machine tap holders and tapping spindles
• Application: suitable for steel, aluminium and other machinable metals with proper cutting data

How to use

Mount the tap securely in a compatible machine tap holder or tapping spindle and verify concentricity before operation. Select cutting speed, feed and coolant according to workpiece material and diameter; for metric M8×1 threads use manufacturer-recommended RPM and feed for machine tapping. Use proper lubrication or coolant to aid chip evacuation and reduce wear. For blind holes, set the tapping depth to leave sufficient material at the bottom to prevent tap breakage and retract the tap periodically if required to clear chips.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, use recommended cutting data for the specific workpiece material, maintain stable toolholding, and ensure adequate coolant and chip removal. Replace the tap when wear or damage is observed to maintain thread quality and avoid workpiece defects.
