Machine Tap FANAR M5 C2-511101-0050 — metric M5 machine tap

Machine tap FANAR M5 (metric M5) is a precision cutting tool designed for creating internal metric threads in machining operations. Manufactured by FANAR, this tap is intended for use with tapping heads, automatic machines and drilling/tapping units. It provides a compact solution for producing standard M5 internal threads in metalworking and mechanical assembly tasks.

Advantages

This machine tap is made for reliable thread cutting with consistent dimensional accuracy. Its geometry and heat treatment are matched to typical industrial tapping applications, offering good wear resistance and stable performance in series production. The tool is suitable for integration into automated machining lines and handheld tapping units where repeatability and process stability are required.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal metric M5 threads in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Use in tapping heads and automatic tapping machines
• Drilling/tapping units in production or workshop environments
• Mechanical assembly operations requiring standard M5 threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M5 (metric)
• Intended use: machine tapping in production equipment and tapping heads
• Material suitability: metals commonly machined in industrial tapping (ferrous and non-ferrous)
• Design: machine tap geometry for use in automatic and semi-automatic machines

How to use

Select the appropriate drill pilot size and secure the workpiece before tapping. Install the tap in a compatible tapping head, collet or machine spindle and ensure correct alignment with the hole axis. Use suitable cutting fluid or lubricant for the workpiece material and apply the recommended feed and speed for M5 thread cutting. For interrupted cuts or thin-walled parts, use pecking or step-tapping strategies as required. After tapping, clear chips and inspect the thread for dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate tapping speeds and feed rates for the workpiece material, maintain correct alignment to avoid tap breakage, and regularly inspect tooling for wear. For automated operations, program reliable chip evacuation cycles and verify machine torque limits to protect the tap.
