Machine Tap FANAR M6 C2-118801-0060, metric M6 threading tool

FANAR machine tap M6 C2-118801-0060 is a precision metric M6 threading tool designed for machine tapping operations in industrial and workshop environments. Intended to cut or repair internal M6 threads in materials such as steel, aluminum and cast iron, this tap is manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure consistent thread form and fit. It is suitable for production runs and maintenance work when used with suitable holders and cutting fluids to maintain cutting performance and tool life.

Advantages

The FANAR M6 machine tap delivers accurate and repeatable thread geometry, reducing the need for post-process adjustments. Its construction provides stable cutting performance during machine-operated tapping cycles, supporting higher productivity compared with hand tapping. When used with correct clamping and lubrication, the tool offers extended service life and reliable thread quality across multiple workpieces.

Suitable for

• Cutting new internal metric M6 threads in metal components
• Repairing or reconditioning damaged M6 threads
• High-volume machine tapping in production batches
• Maintenance and assembly operations requiring consistent thread fit

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6 (metric)
• Thread type: internal (tap)
• Intended use: machine tapping operations
• Material compatibility: common metals such as steel, aluminum and cast iron
• Tool tolerance: manufactured to precision tolerances for consistent thread form

How to use

Mount the machine tap in an appropriate tap holder or chuck designed for tapping operations and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Select an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and apply it to the tap and hole to reduce friction and chip welding. Use the correct spindle speed and feed rate recommended for M6 threading in the chosen material; engage the tap smoothly and maintain stable axial alignment throughout the cut. Withdraw the tap periodically or use a pecking cycle on machines to clear chips and prevent clogging. After tapping, clean the threads and inspect for correct form and fit.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use a rigid tap holder with axial compliance or a floating tap adapter when tapping blind holes or less rigid setups. Match cutting fluid and machining parameters to the workpiece material and consider thread gauging after production runs to verify dimensional accuracy and thread quality.
