Hand Tap Set FANAR M3, 3 pieces (A2-235801-0030)

FANAR hand tap set M3, 3 pieces is a compact kit intended for cutting internal M3 metric threads by hand. The set contains three progressive taps that cover the standard sequence for creating a clean and accurately sized M3 thread in compatible materials. It is designed for manual threading in workshop repair, maintenance and light production tasks where M3 threads are required.

Advantages

The FANAR hand tap set offers a complete three-tap progression for reliable thread forming and reduced risk of tap breakage when used with appropriate technique and lubrication. The tools are sized for standard M3 thread geometry, enabling consistent fit with M3 fasteners. Their hand-use design provides control during tapping operations, making them suitable for small-batch or single-piece work and on-site repairs.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M3 threads by hand in metals and compatible materials
• Maintenance and repair of equipment that uses M3 fasteners
• Prototyping and hobby machining requiring metric M3 threads
• Light production or assembly tasks where manual tapping is preferred

Key specifications

• Thread size: M3 (metric)
• Contents: set of three taps covering progressive cutting stages
• Intended use: manual hand tapping
• Material compatibility: suitable for metals and other materials compatible with the tap geometry (use correct drill pilot and lubricant)
• Handling: designed for use with a tap wrench or suitable hand tool

How to use

Select the appropriate pilot hole diameter for an M3 internal thread, secure the workpiece, and align the first tap perpendicular to the hole. Use a tap wrench to apply steady, even pressure while turning the tap clockwise to cut; back off periodically to break chips and clear cuttings. Progress through the set from the first (rough) tap to the intermediate and then the finishing tap to achieve the final thread form. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped and clean the threads after finishing.

Usage recommendations

Use proper pilot hole sizes and quality lubrication to extend tap life and ensure accurate threads. Avoid excessive torque and remove chips frequently to reduce the chance of tap breakage. For hardened or abrasive materials, confirm material compatibility or use taps designed for those conditions.
