Totem – HSS Tap Set M8 | High-Speed Steel Metric Threading Tool (M8 x 1.25 mm) – 3-Piece Set

The Totem HSS Tap Set M8 is a precision-engineered toolset designed for cutting or repairing M8 x 1.25 mm internal threads in a wide variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, and plastic. Manufactured by Totem, one of India’s leading brands in industrial cutting tools, this set is built for performance, durability, and precision.

Ideal for professionals, workshop technicians, mechanical engineers, and hobbyists, this 3-piece tap set includes Taper, Intermediate, and Bottoming taps—enabling users to create high-quality threads in both blind and through holes.

What Is an M8 Tap Set?

An M8 tap set is used to create threads for M8 fasteners—metric bolts and screws with an 8 mm nominal diameter and a 1.25 mm pitch. Totem’s M8 tap set includes:

  1. Taper Tap (1st Tap) – Starts the thread gently with fewer cutting edges, perfect for aligning the tap into the hole.

  2. Intermediate Tap (2nd Tap) – Follows the taper tap and deepens the threads to near full depth.

  3. Bottoming Tap (3rd Tap) – Used to cut threads to full depth, especially useful in blind holes that don’t go all the way through.

Using the full set ensures clean, accurate, and complete threads with minimal risk of chipping or tool breakage.

Made from High-Speed Steel (HSS)

Totem taps are crafted from industrial-grade High-Speed Steel (HSS), offering:

  • Excellent wear resistance

  • High hardness and strength

  • Superior heat resistance during cutting

  • Extended tool life even with repeated use

This makes them ideal for demanding threading applications across a range of materials—whether you’re working on soft metals or tougher engineering alloys.
