FANAR hand tap set M12 x 1.25, metric thread, manual tapping kit (A1-220001-0124)

FANAR hand tap set M12 x 1.25 is a manual tapping kit designed to cut internal metric threads with a 1.25 mm pitch. The set is intended for use in workshop repair, maintenance, and on-site threading where manual tapping is preferred or required. It produces the correct M12 × 1.25 thread profile in metals and other machinable materials when used with suitable drills and tapping practice.

Advantages

The hand tap set provides a compact, easy-to-handle solution for creating internal M12 × 1.25 threads without the need for powered equipment. Its tools enable controlled feed and torque during manual tapping, reducing the risk of tap breakage in confined or awkward positions. The kit is suitable for straightforward repairs and maintenance work and is convenient to store and carry to job sites.

Suitable for

• Workshop repair and maintenance of machinery and equipment
• On-site threading and emergency thread restoration
• Manual tapping in metals, non-ferrous alloys, and machinable plastics
• Applications where precise M12 × 1.25 internal threads are required

• Operation: manual tapping kit for hand use
• Intended materials: metals, non-ferrous alloys, machinable plastics
• Use case: cutting internal threads (tapping)
• Form factor: compact portable kit for workshop and field use

How to use

Select an appropriate pilot hole drill size for M12 × 1.25, secure the workpiece, and align the tap perpendicular to the hole. Use cutting fluid suitable for the work material, and apply steady, even pressure while turning the tap handle. Periodically reverse the tap slightly to break chips and clear swarf. Continue tapping to the required depth, then back the tap out carefully. Clean threads and inspect for correct profile and fit with corresponding M12 × 1.25 fasteners.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and cutting fluid for improved tool life and thread quality. For hardened or difficult-to-machine materials, consider pre-drilling, lubrication, or using progressive taps. Avoid excessive force to reduce the risk of tap breakage; if binding occurs, reverse the tap slightly to clear chips and reapply lubricant.
