Extension Tap, Thread Size M8x1.25, Overall Length 150.00 mm, Carbide, Bright (Uncoated)

The bright finish on these taps provides a smooth, polished surface. Carbide taps are harder than high-speed steel and high-performance taps. They resist high temperatures and are suitable for high-speed tapping. Carbide taps are more brittle than high-speed steel and high-performance taps and require a rigid setup. Straight-flute taps move chips into the taps' flutes but do not evacuate the chips as the taps are rotated into a hole to cut threads. They are used for threading through holes and blind holes.
