RS PRO Machine Threading Tap, M8 Thread, Metric Standard, HSS Blue Stream Tempered, Spiral Point, 72mm Overall Length 455-920

RS PRO 455-920 is a high-precision machine threading tap designed for creating M8 metric threads in industrial and professional machine applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this tap has a durable blue stream tempered finish, reducing friction during cutting and delivering a clean, accurate thread.

The spiral point design allows for efficient chip removal, preventing clogging and ensuring free flow of coolant, which prolongs tool life and improves tapping quality. It is specifically engineered for right-hand thread direction and features an 8 mm shank diameter, fitting most standard tapping machines and tools.

With an overall length of 72 mm and a thread pitch of 1.25 mm, this tap conforms to ISO metric standards, making it suitable for a wide range of threading operations in precision engineering, manufacturing, construction, plumbing, and workshop applications.

RS PRO threading taps are known for reliability and value in professional environments, offering robust and efficient threading for both machine and hand tapping use cases. This particular model offers versatility, allowing it to be used directly on machines or by hand without requiring a lead tap first.
