Machine Tap FANAR M3 C2-111801-0030 – metric M3 machine tap

Machine tap FANAR M3 C2-111801-0030 – metric M3 machine tap is a cutting tool designed for producing internal metric M3 threads on tapping machines and machining centers. It is supplied by FANAR and intended for machining operations where precise M3 threads are required in compatible materials. The tool is suitable for use in production and repair environments that require repeatable and accurate thread forming.

Advantages

This metric M3 machine tap offers consistent thread quality and dimensional accuracy when used with appropriate tapping equipment. Its design supports efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting performance under machine-controlled conditions. The tool is compatible with standard M3 thread tolerances and is suitable for repeated use in serial production or maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Creating M3 internal threads on tapping machines
• Threading operations in machining centers
• Small-series production of components requiring M3 threads
• Repair and maintenance tasks involving replacement or re-threading of M3 holes

Key specifications

• Thread standard: metric M3
• Tool type: machine tap for internal threading
• Intended application: use on tapping machines and machining centers for M3 threads
• Typical use cases: production and repair tasks requiring precise M3 internal threads

How to use

Mount the tap securely in the machine spindle or appropriate tool holder designed for machine taps. Ensure workpiece material is suitable for the tap and that hole diameter, coolant, spindle speed, and feed are set according to material and machine manufacturer recommendations for an M3 tap. Begin the tapping cycle with correct alignment and controlled feed to avoid breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid where required and retract the tap after threading to clear chips.

Usage recommendations

For best results, verify the pre-drill diameter for M3 threads and select spindle speed and feed matching the workpiece material. Use steady machine feeds, proper tool clamping, and coolant to extend tool life and maintain thread accuracy. Replace the tap when wear affects thread quality.
