FANAR hand tap M14x1.25 set of 2 (A1-220001-0144)

FANAR hand tap M14x1.25 set of 2 is a manual threading set intended for cutting or restoring internal metric threads with a nominal size of M14 and a pitch of 1.25 mm. The two-piece kit provides the common combination of a taper or starter tap and a plug or bottoming tap to allow progressive thread cutting and accurate engagement in blind or through holes. Designed for workshop repairs, maintenance and assembly, the taps suit machining of metals and other materials compatible with conventional hand tapping.

Advantages

This FANAR hand tap set offers a straightforward solution for producing M14x1.25 internal threads by hand. The two-step configuration reduces the risk of cross-threading and makes it easier to start threads in drilled holes. The taps are appropriate for use with a T‑handle or tap wrench and are compact to store in a tool kit. Materials and heat treatment of the taps ensure cutting durability for typical workshop applications.

Suitable for

• Manual threading of M14 x 1.25 holes in steel, aluminium and similar materials
• Repairing damaged internal threads in assemblies and components
• Maintenance and on-site fastening work where power tapping is impractical
• Prototype and small-batch production requiring hand-operated taps

Key specifications

• Thread size: M14
• Thread pitch: 1.25 mm
• Set composition: 2 taps (starter/taper and plug/bottoming)
• Application method: hand tapping with T-handle or tap wrench
• Intended hole types: through holes and blind holes (with appropriate sequence)

How to use

Select an appropriate drill size for the M14x1.25 thread root, clamp the workpiece securely, and align the starter tap perpendicular to the hole. Use a T-handle or tap wrench, apply even pressure and turn clockwise to engage the cut; back off periodically to break chips and clear debris. After establishing the thread with the starter tap, continue with the plug or bottoming tap to reach the required depth. Apply suitable cutting fluid for the work material and maintain steady feed and alignment throughout the operation.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible cutting lubricant for ferrous and non-ferrous materials, avoid excessive torque when hand tapping to prevent tap breakage, and always clear chips frequently. Store taps in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect for wear before use to ensure accurate thread form.
