Hand Tap Set FANAR M6 (A1-260001-0060) — metric M6 threading manual tap kit

FANAR Hand Tap Set for M6 threads (model A1-260001-0060) is a manual threading kit designed to cut or restore standard metric M6 internal threads. The set is intended for use with a hand tap wrench for workshop threading tasks on metal and plastic workpieces. It is suitable for maintenance, repair, and light production environments where M6 female threads are required. The tools are sized for metric M6 threads and optimized for manual use, providing a straightforward solution for forming or repairing internal threads by hand.

Advantages

The FANAR M6 hand tap set offers accurate metric M6 thread cutting and restoration using a simple, durable design intended for manual operation. It is compatible with common hand tap wrenches and is suitable for a variety of workpiece materials, including steel, aluminum and many plastics. The set provides reliable thread geometry and consistent performance for repeated use in maintenance and small-batch production tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M6 internal threads in metal and plastic
• Restoring worn or damaged M6 female threads
• Maintenance and repair work in workshops and service departments
• Prototype and light production threading where manual tapping is preferred

Key specifications

• Thread standard: metric M6
• Intended use: manual hand tapping with a tap wrench
• Material compatibility: common metals (steel, aluminum) and plastics
• Application: cutting and restoring internal threads

How to use

Secure the workpiece so it cannot move during the tapping process and ensure the hole is drilled to the recommended pilot diameter for M6 threads. Mount the appropriate tap in a hand tap wrench, apply cutting lubricant suitable for the workpiece material to reduce friction and chip welding, and start the tap perpendicular to the hole. Turn the tap clockwise to cut, applying steady pressure; periodically reverse the tap by a partial turn to break and clear chips. Continue until the desired thread depth is reached, then back the tap out carefully to avoid damaging the newly cut threads. Clean the threads and inspect for proper fit with an M6 screw.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting lubricant for the material being tapped and maintain perpendicular alignment when starting the tap to ensure correct thread geometry. For harder materials, proceed with lighter cuts and more frequent chip clearing. Inspect taps before use for wear or damage and replace if cutting edges are dull to avoid poor thread quality.
