Machine Tap FANAR M6 C2-111801-0060

The Machine Tap FANAR M6 C2-111801-0060 is a precision cutting tool designed to produce M6 metric internal threads in machine tapping operations. Manufactured by FANAR, this tap is intended for use in automated drilling and tapping machines as well as manual machine-tapping setups where consistent thread geometry and repeatability are required. The tool profile and flute geometry are engineered to cut clean threads in compatible materials when used with appropriate speeds, feeds, and lubrication.

Advantages

This FANAR machine tap provides accurate and repeatable M6 threads with stable dimensional control and good surface finish. Its geometry supports efficient chip evacuation during continuous machine cycles, reducing the risk of tap breakage and cycle interruptions. The tool is suitable for production environments, offering durability under recommended operating conditions and compatibility with standard machine tool holders used for tapping operations.

Suitable for

• Production-line machine tapping of M6 threaded holes
• Automated drilling/tapping machines and CNC machining centers
• Repair and maintenance work requiring replacement M6 taps
• Applications where consistent thread quality and repeatability are required

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6 metric internal thread
• Tool type: machine tap for machine tapping operations
• Material and coating: designed for use with appropriate materials and cutting fluids (see material compatibility in operating instructions)
• Geometry: flute and cutting profile optimized for chip evacuation in machine cycles
• Intended use: automated and manual machine tapping in production environments

How to use

Mount the tap securely in the machine tool holder or tapping head recommended for machine taps of this size. Select spindle speed and feed based on the workpiece material and the tap manufacturer’s cutting data; use appropriate cutting fluid to improve surface finish and extend tool life. Engage the tap with the pre-drilled hole aligned to the nominal drill size for M6 threads, cycle the machine through the tapping operation, and monitor chip formation. Retract the tap carefully after cutting to avoid damaging the thread.

Usage recommendations

Use correct drill size for M6 pre-holes and follow recommended speeds, feeds, and lubrication for the workpiece material. Inspect taps regularly for wear or damage and replace when thread quality or dimensional accuracy degrades. When tapping long or deep holes, consider peck tapping or through-coolant methods to maintain chip control and avoid breakage.
