Description
Overview:
The Volkel Metric Tap M8 x 1.25 Taper Cut is a precision hand tool for cutting internal metric threads in metal. Made from quality steel with a straight flute design, it offers smooth, accurate chip evacuation and reliable alignment when starting a thread. The taper lead helps the tap engage gradually, reducing the risk of cross‐threading and breakage. Manufactured to ISO-Thread DIN 13, it is suitable for general workshop, maintenance, and fabrication tasks. Use it with a standard tap wrench or T‐handle, or in a tapping chuck where appropriate, for producing M8 x 1.25 (metric coarse) threads in components, fixtures, and repair jobs. Sold as a single taper tap, Volkel MPN 804/042A, it suits tradespeople, engineers, and DIY users who need dependable results.
