Machine Tap FANAR M6 — model C2-121101-0060, metric M6 threading

FANAR machine tap M6 (model C2-121101-0060) is a precision cutting tool engineered for producing internal metric M6 threads in machine tapping operations. Manufactured to fit standard M6 specifications, this tap is intended for use with compatible tap holders and machine spindles. It is suitable for industrial production, workshop maintenance and repair work where consistent thread geometry and dimensional accuracy are required.

Advantages

The tool offers precise thread cutting with a geometry designed to create clean, accurate M6 threads. Its construction provides stable cutting performance under machine tapping conditions and helps maintain thread form over repeated cycles. When used with appropriate cutting speeds, feeds and lubricants, the tap reduces burr formation and prolongs tool life. The design supports reliable centring and consistent thread pitch compliance for metric M6 applications.

Suitable for

• Creating internal M6 threads in steel and common metal alloys
• Machine tapping in production lines and machining centres
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks requiring metric M6 threads
• Use with compatible tap holders and machine spindles

Key specifications

• Thread size: metric M6
• Tool type: machine tap for internal threads
• Intended use: machine tapping operations
• Compatibility: for use with standard M6 tap holders and chucks

How to use

Install the tap in a suitable machine tap holder or chuck ensuring secure, concentric clamping. Align the workpiece and set the machine to the recommended spindle speed and feed for the material being machined. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to the tap and workpiece to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. Engage the tap steadily, using proper feed to avoid excessive axial loads; reverse or use peck tapping cycles as required to clear chips and prevent clogging. Inspect produced threads for dimensional conformity and finish, and replace the tool if wear degrades thread quality.

Usage recommendations

Select cutting speeds and feeds based on the workpiece material and machine rigidity, and use suitable cutting fluid for metalworking. Regularly inspect the tap for wear or damage and maintain proper clamping and alignment to ensure consistent M6 thread quality.
