Dormer Machine Tap Metric Standard Thread Size M8 Spiral Flute High Speed Steel ISO 529 DIN 338 E260M8

Dormer E260M8 machine tap is a high precision threading tool designed for metric standard M8 thread production. Made from high speed steel, it is suitable for machine tapping applications requiring excellent durability and surface finish. The spiral flute geometry combined with a back taper design enhances chip evacuation, making it highly efficient in alloy steels and stainless steel materials.

This tap has a right hand thread direction, pitch of 1.25mm, and an overall length of 90mm with a shank diameter of 8mm. It is manufactured to the highest standards including ISO 529, DIN 338, and DIN 371/376, ensuring consistent thread quality and tolerance class 2 for a 6H fit.

The tap is part of the Dormer Sharkline range, distinguished by special cutting geometries and surface treatments which enable faster, more accurate tapping in a specific range of engineering materials. The bright finish and colour coded ring on the shank (red ring) facilitate easy identification and enhanced tool life.

This threading tap is ideal for industrial, manufacturing, mechanical maintenance, and machine shop applications where precision metric threads are required. Its robust design supports effective tapping in alloy steels with high efficiency and chip control.
