FANAR machine tap 1/4" C2-511101-4127 — hand-held/bench threading tool

FANAR machine tap 1/4" C2-511101-4127 is a cutting tool designed to create internal threads with a 1/4-inch nominal diameter. Intended for use in machine tapping operations, this tap is suitable for both hand-held and bench tapping machines and is designed to work effectively in steel and similar metals. The tool supports production tasks such as component assembly, repair, and precision thread creation in manufacturing and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The FANAR 1/4" machine tap provides consistent thread form and accuracy when used in appropriate tapping equipment. Its geometry is optimised for cutting in steel and similar materials, offering reliable chip evacuation and reduced risk of thread deformation. The tool is suitable for repetitive machine tapping tasks and can be used in both portable and fixed tapping setups, allowing flexibility in workshop and on-site operations.

Suitable for

• Creating internal threads in steel components
• Machine tapping on bench or hand-held tapping machines
• Assembly and repair tasks requiring 1/4" threads
• Precision threading in maintenance and small-batch production

Key specifications

• Nominal thread size: 1/4"
• Tool type: machine tap for internal threading
• Intended materials: steel and similar metals
• Use mode: compatible with hand-held and bench tapping machines
• Typical applications: production, maintenance, component repair

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure proper alignment between the tap and the hole. Select an appropriate pilot drill size for a 1/4" tap and verify drilling depth. Mount the tap in the tapping machine or hand-held tapping tool, set suitable spindle speed and feed for the material, and apply cutting fluid if recommended for the work material. Engage the tap steadily, allowing it to cut and evacuate chips; reverse or use the machine's retraction cycle to clear chips as needed. After threading, back the tap out carefully and clean the thread and tool.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid for steel, maintain correct spindle speed and feed for the material, and inspect taps regularly for wear. Replace the tap if thread quality declines or if any chipping or deformation is observed to maintain consistent thread accuracy.
