Dormer Threading Tap, M8 Thread, Metric Standard, Machine Tap

Dormer Threading Tap, M8 Thread, 1.25mm Pitch - E471M8

This is a high-performance machine tap designed for threading both blind and through holes in specific materials. It is manufactured from a special powder metallurgy tool steel, ensuring unbeatable toughness, edge strength, and wear resistance. With its unique features, this tap provides problem-free threading and improved accuracy.

Features & Benefits

• Constructed from premium-grade powdered metal cobalt high-speed steel (M35), the E471M8 tap offers exceptional toughness and wear resistance
• The tap design significantly reduces axial forces, enhancing thread accuracy
• By minimizing torque, this tap reduces machine wear and the risk of chipping or breakage
• The special flute geometry prevents swarf nesting, reducing the risk of re-cutting swarf during reversal
• The Yellow, Red, and Blue Shark spiral flute taps feature an edge treatment that increases strength and minimises micro-chipping on the cutting edges, improving overall performance and tool life
