Spiral Point Taps – M8 X 1.25 Thread, TICN Coated High-Speed Steel, DIN371/376, 2-Piece Set For Through-Hole Tapping In Steel, Aluminum, And Plastic

About This Product

If you're threading through-holes in metal or plastic, these M8 x 1.

25 spiral point taps are a solid choice.
You get a 2-piece set, each made from high-speed steel 6542 with a TICN coating that boosts hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance.

The spiral point design pushes chips forward and out of the hole – perfect for through-hole threading because it keeps chips from clogging up the flutes.

The specs: 20mm thread length, 6.
2mm square shank, and an overall length of 90mm.

Accuracy is H2, which is good for general-purpose threading, and they're fully ground for a sharp, consistent cutting edge.

They follow DIN371/376 standards, so they're compatible with most tapping machines, drill presses, and vertical milling machines.

They handle stainless steel, ordinary steel, copper, aluminum, iron, alloy steel, and even hard plastics.
Just make sure you drill a proper pilot hole before tapping – the tap depth shouldn't exceed 1.
5 times the diameter (for M8, that's about 12mm max).

Use cutting oil for better results, and adjust your speed based on material hardness.

Solid, durable, and good value for any shop.
