Hand Tap Set FANAR M18x1.5, 2 pieces (A1-220001-0185)

FANAR hand tap set M18x1.5, 2 pieces provides two dedicated taps for cutting internal metric threads with 1.5 mm pitch. The set includes a primary (rough) tap and a finishing (chamfered/plug) tap sized for M18 threads, intended for manual use in through or blind holes. It is designed for use on metals and similar materials where hand tapping is suitable, and is compact for workshop repair, maintenance and machining tasks.

Advantages

The two-piece configuration gives a progressive thread cutting process that reduces effort and improves thread quality compared with a single tap. Both taps are sized for M18x1.5 to ensure consistent diameter and pitch across operations. The manual tap set is compact and simple to use without requiring powered tapping equipment, making it suitable for repair and maintenance work. The matched pair supports reliable starting and finishing of threads in a range of common materials.

Suitable for

• Manual tapping of M18x1.5 internal threads in through holes
• Manual tapping of M18x1.5 internal threads in blind holes
• Workshop repair and maintenance of metal components
• Machining and fitting tasks requiring metric M18 threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M18
• Thread pitch: 1.5 mm
• Quantity: 2 taps (progressive set: rough and finish)
• Application: manual cutting of internal metric threads
• Suitable materials: metals and similar machinable materials where hand tapping is appropriate
• Use case: through holes and blind holes

How to use

Select the appropriate drill size for an M18x1.5 thread and prepare the hole for tapping. Secure the workpiece and apply suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and prolong tool life. Start with the primary (rough) tap to establish the thread, turning it by hand using a compatible tap wrench and advancing with even, controlled strokes while periodically reversing to break chips. After the rough pass, use the finishing tap to complete thread profiles and improve surface finish. Clean chips from the hole between passes and verify thread engagement with a mating bolt or gauge.

Usage recommendations

Use a tap wrench that fits the tap shank and apply steady, moderate torque; avoid excessive force to reduce the risk of tap breakage. Employ appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material, clear chips frequently, and consider using the rough-first then finish sequence provided by the two-piece set to achieve accurate M18x1.5 threads.
