Thread Tap FANAR M8x1 NGMM/2-P DIN 2181 HSSE-PM TiCN HRC40 (6HX)

FANAR M8x1 NGMM/2-P is a metric thread tap designed to produce internal M8x1 threads according to DIN 2181. Made from HSSE-PM (high-speed steel with powder metallurgy) and finished with a titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating, this tap provides wear resistance and consistent cutting performance at a hardness of HRC40. Tolerance class 6HX ensures reliable thread fit for general engineering and assembly applications.

Advantages

The TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life when cutting a range of metals. HSSE-PM construction delivers improved toughness and uniform hardness compared with conventional high-speed steels. The DIN 2181 geometry and 6HX tolerance class provide accurate thread profiles and repeatable engagement. Suitable for machine tapping and hand guiding in controlled conditions, the tool balances durability with predictable cutting behavior.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M8x1 metric threads in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Production tapping on machines and tapping heads
• Maintenance and repair work requiring coated taps
• Mechanical assembly where consistent thread tolerance is required

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 x 1
• Standard: DIN 2181
• Material: HSSE-PM (powder metallurgy high-speed steel)
• Coating: TiCN (titanium carbonitride)
• Hardness: HRC 40
• Tolerance class: 6HX
• Type: NGMM/2-P (machine tap geometry)

How to use

Select appropriate drilling size and ensure workpiece is securely clamped before tapping. Use cutting fluid suited to the work material to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. For machine tapping, set correct spindle speed and feed matching the tap geometry and material; for hand-guided tapping, apply steady axial pressure and reverse periodically to break chips. Inspect threads after cutting to confirm engagement and dimensional accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Prefer low- to medium-cutting speeds for tougher steels and higher speeds for softer non-ferrous materials. Use suitable tapping holders or guides to maintain alignment and prevent tap breakage. Replace or recoat taps showing wear or chipped cutting edges to maintain thread quality.
