The Carmex Threading Tap with Spiral Point, a Metric Supercut tool, is built for precision metric threading in through-holes. Ideal for machinists and serious hobbyists, it delivers reliable cuts, durability, and efficient chip evacuation for M8 x 1.0 applications.

• Size & Thread: M8 x 1.0 metric spiral-point tap designed for through-holes and standard metric threads
• Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt content) for exceptional hardness and heat resistance
• Construction: Powder-metal formulation enhances rigidity and wear life in demanding tapping tasks
• Cutting Geometry: Spiral-point design promotes fast, clean thread formation and efficient chip evacuation
• Shank: Hex-shank for secure grip and precise alignment in common machining chucks
• Applications: Ideal for metric thread cutting in steel, aluminum, and other metals where through-holes are used

With the Carmex Threading Tap, you’ll achieve consistent thread quality from start to finish. The spiral-point geometry clears chips as you cut, minimizing material buildup and reducing tap breakage in through-holes. The HSS-E alloy maintains sharpness and stability under high-speed tapping, preserving thread accuracy on tough materials. The powder-metal construction adds stiffness and durability, making it a dependable choice for daily shop use when fabricating brackets, fasteners, or other components requiring precise M8 x 1.0 threads.
