Machine Tap FANAR M4 C2-111801-0040

Machine tap FANAR M4 C2-111801-0040 is a single-purpose cutting tool designed to form internal metric M4 threads in pre-drilled holes. Manufactured by FANAR for use on machining centres and drill presses, this M4 tap is intended for production threading, repair and maintenance, and general workshop machining tasks in metalworking. Its geometry and sizing are matched to standard M4 metric thread dimensions to ensure consistent thread form when used with appropriate hole size and machine settings.

Advantages

The FANAR M4 machine tap offers consistent thread accuracy and repeatability when used in machine tapping applications. As a dedicated M4 tap, it provides predictable cutting performance and reduces the need for hand finishing. The tool is suitable for medium- to high-volume tapping on machines, delivering uniform thread profiles and good tool life when proper cutting parameters and lubrication are applied.

Suitable for

• Forming M4 internal threads in pre-drilled metal holes
• Production threading operations on machining centres and drill presses
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring replacement or renewal of M4 threads
• Workshop machining and component assembly where standard M4 threads are required

Key specifications

• Thread size: M4 metric internal thread
• Intended application: machine tapping (machining centres, drill presses)
• Tool type: single-purpose machine tap for forming/cutting threads
• Material compatibility: designed for use in common engineering metals (select speed and lubrication according to workpiece material)
• Typical use: production and maintenance tapping operations

How to use

Install the FANAR M4 machine tap into the machine spindle or an appropriate tap holder according to the machine manufacturer's instructions. Use a pre-drilled hole of the correct diameter for M4 threads, secure the workpiece, set appropriate spindle speed and feed for the workpiece material, and apply suitable cutting fluid or lubricant. Execute the tapping cycle using the machine's tapping function or synchronized feed so the tap advances and retracts with controlled rotation. After completing the thread, reverse the spindle to extract the tap and inspect the thread for correct form and fit.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the drill size and cutting parameters to the workpiece material, maintain proper lubrication during tapping, and use correct machine tapping cycles to prevent tap breakage and ensure consistent thread quality.
