FANAR machine tap M10 – thread cutting tool for metal, model A1-230001-0100

FANAR machine tap M10 – thread cutting tool for metal, model A1-230001-0100 is a precision cutting tool designed to produce M10 metric internal threads in metal workpieces. Intended for machine tapping operations, this tap is suitable for use with drilling machines, tapping heads and CNC machines. The tool is engineered for industrial machining, maintenance and assembly tasks where accurate M10 threads are required.

Advantages

The tap offers consistent thread quality and dimensional accuracy for M10 internal threads, reducing rework and ensuring interchangeability of fastened parts. Its design supports stable chip evacuation and reliable engagement with machine spindles and tapping adapters. Manufactured by FANAR, the tool is suitable for repeated use in production and repair environments, providing predictable performance across batches of components.

Suitable for

• Creating M10 internal threads in steel and other machinable metals
• Machine tapping operations on drilling machines and tapping heads
• Automated tapping on CNC lathes and machining centers
• Industrial maintenance, assembly and repair applications requiring M10 threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M10 metric
• Intended use: machine tapping for internal threads
• Compatibility: drilling machines, tapping heads and CNC machines
• Material compatibility: suitable for use with steel and other common machinable metals
• Design focus: precision thread forming and chip evacuation

How to use

Select the appropriate drill size for the M10 tapped hole and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Mount the tap in a suitable chuck or tapping holder and align it perpendicular to the work surface. Use steady feed and correct spindle speed for the workpiece material; engage the tap with light pressure until the thread starts, then apply consistent feed while allowing chips to clear. Retract the tap periodically if necessary to remove chips and prevent clogging. After tapping, clean the threaded hole and inspect the thread form and fit.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to improve tool life and thread quality. Match spindle speed and feed to the metal being machined and consider using a tapping head or rigid tapping function on CNC machines to maintain correct synchronization and reduce breakage risk.
