Machine tap FANAR C2-111101-0060 for M6 threads

Machine tap FANAR C2-111101-0060 for M6 threads is a precision cutting tool designed for creating internal metric threads with nominal size M6. Intended for use in machine tapping operations, this tap provides consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy when used on metals and compatible materials in production and workshop environments. The tool is suitable for repeated automated or manual machine tapping processes where reliable M6 threads are required.

Advantages

The FANAR machine tap delivers stable thread geometry and good surface finish when used under recommended machining conditions. Its design supports efficient chip evacuation and reduced risk of tool breakage in through and blind hole operations when matched with appropriate speeds, feeds, and lubrication. The tap’s construction ensures repeatable performance, making it suitable for batch production and maintenance work where consistent M6 thread quality is needed.

Suitable for

• Machine tapping of M6 internal threads in metals such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum and similar alloys (subject to material compatibility)
• Production lines and workshop machining operations
• Automated tapping machines and CNC machines using machine taps
• Repair, maintenance, and replacement of threaded components requiring M6 threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6 metric thread
• Intended use: machine tapping (not hand taper taps)
• Application: internal thread cutting for production and workshop environments
• Suitable for: metal and compatible materials (select cutting parameters per material)
• Performance focus: consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy

How to use

Mount the machine tap in a suitable machine tap holder or machine spindle designed for machine taps. Align the tool carefully with the hole axis to prevent cross-threading. Select cutting speed and feed appropriate for the workpiece material and the tap manufacturer’s general recommendations; use proper cutting fluid or lubricant to improve chip flow and reduce heat. For blind holes, periodically lift the tap slightly to clear chips if the machine cycle supports pecking or reversing. After tapping, inspect the thread with gauges or a mating fastener to confirm correct form and fit.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate chip-breaker settings, cutting fluid, and machine-compatible holders. Match speeds and feeds to the workpiece material and machine rigidity to extend tool life and maintain thread quality. For difficult-to-machine alloys, reduce cutting speed and ensure effective lubrication to minimise tool wear and avoid chip packing.
