Machine Tap, M8 x 1.25mm, Metric Coarse, Fluteless, High Speed Steel, Bright

A spiral point tap has a chiselled point that pushes the metal chips ahead of the forming threads. This is useful when tapping through-holes (holes that extend through the work piece). 

Spiral Point taps are not recommended for use in blind holes: the accumulation of chips can bind and break the tap.

Sherwood HSS Taps are the general purpose option for thread cutting in most materials including steel, some stainless steels, cast irons and non-ferrous materials such as Aluminium, Brass and many others. Manufactured with a black oxide finish to resist heat, the spiral point for excellent sheering action.

Features and Benefits
• Manufactured from durable high speed steel
• Precision ground flutes for accurate thread cutting
• Spiral point for excellent sheering action
• Manufactured with a black oxide finish

Typical Applications
• Tapping
• Steel
• Brass
• Aluminium
• Engineering
• Manufacturing

Standards
• Tap dimensions to ISO529
• Straight Flute Individual Sizes IS0 529
