Spiral Flute Tap: M8 x 1.25, Metric Coarse, 3 Flute, Semi-Bottoming, 6H Class of Fit, Powdered Metal, TiCN Finish MPN:TT98859

The Spiral Flute Tap M8 x 1.25 is designed for machining coarse thread pitches in metals such as stainless steel or aluminum. This tap has a diameter of 8 mm with an effective cutting length of 14mm. It features three flutes, making it efficient at chip removal to ensure smooth and fast drilling without causing tool deflection while creating strong and accurate threads for permanent holding. The class of fit is 6H meaning it's compatible with a broad range of materials in machining or automotive sectors where precision is necessary. This high-speed steel (HSS) tap uses powder metallurgy ensuring its strength and durability in cutting tough alloys, while titanium carbo-nitride (TiCN) finish provides lubricity, heat resistance and longevity to avoid chipping or gumming up when drilling through stainless steel, casting or hardened materials.
