Threading Tap FANAR 3/8" (C2-511101-4129) hand/ machine tap 3/8 inch

FANAR threading tap 3/8" (hand/machine) is a metalworking tool designed to cut and restore internal threads with a nominal diameter of 3/8 inch. The tap is made for both manual and machine tapping operations, providing accurate thread profile formation compatible with standard 3/8" thread dimensions. It is intended for use in maintenance, fabrication and assembly environments where reliable internal threading is required.

Advantages

The tap offers consistent thread geometry and dimensional accuracy suitable for repeated use. Its design supports both hand and machine operation, allowing flexibility between workshop bench work and powered tapping machines. The tool is compatible with common 3/8" fastener standards, enabling interchangeability with standard nuts and bolts. Durable material and cutting geometry reduce wear and support predictable cutting performance when used with appropriate lubrication and correct speeds.

Suitable for

• Cutting new internal threads in metal and alloy workpieces
• Restoring damaged or worn 3/8" threaded holes
• General maintenance and repair tasks in industrial workshops
• Fabrication and assembly operations requiring standard 3/8" threads

Key specifications

• Nominal thread diameter: 3/8 inch
• Intended use: internal threading (tap) for hand and machine tapping
• Compatibility: standard 3/8" thread profiles and fasteners
• Application materials: suitable for common metals and metal alloys used in general engineering

How to use

Select an appropriate pilot drill to create the correct hole size for a 3/8" tap, secure the workpiece, and align the tap perpendicular to the hole. For hand tapping, use an adjustable tap wrench and apply steady, even pressure while turning; reverse briefly to break chips. For machine tapping, mount the tap in the proper chuck or holder and follow the machine manufacturer's speed and feed recommendations. Use cutting fluid or lubricant suitable for the workpiece material to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life. Regularly inspect the thread quality and clear chips to avoid jamming or tool breakage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate hole preparation and lubrication, match tap speed to the material, and apply backing or support for thin-walled workpieces to prevent distortion. Replace the tap if threads become chipped or worn to maintain thread quality and safety.
