Reading the callout

M8 × 1.25 │ │ │ └─ pitch = 1.25 mm └────── nominal diameter = 8 mm

A thread callout does not by itself define every tolerance or application requirement. Follow the drawing and applicable standard.

Standards: ISO 724:2023 specifies basic dimensions for ISO general-purpose metric threads. ISO 262:2023 specifies selected sizes for bolts, screws, studs and nuts.
