The features of magneto-abrasive machining of taps for metric thread cutting were investigated. The calculation method of integral intensity of the magneto-abrasive machining of the working surfaces of the taps by the quantitative values of normal and tangential components of moving speed of the quasi-stable volumes of the magneto-abrasive tool was developed. Based on the results of calculations, it was possible to predict the probable influence of the taps’ location in the working zone on the quality and efficiency of machining their working surfaces. The calculation method is relevant for taps of all diameters with a profile angle of 60°. The working surfaces of the tool would not be effectively machined if the location angle of taps to the plane of the working zone of the machine equals 20–60°. Depending on the expected major polishing or strengthening effect of magneto-abrasive machining, the taps are required to be located at an angle of 60–90° to the plane of the working zone of the machine.
