1. Drill the tapping hole to the recommended tapping drill size for M8x1.25 (typically around 6.8 mm, depending on material).
2. Lubricate with a suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life.
3. Secure your workpiece and advance the tap with steady, clockwise pressure. Avoid forcing the tool—let the threads form gradually.
4. Back off periodically to clear chips, then continue until you reach the final thread depth. Remove the tap carefully to avoid thread damage.
