Machine tap FANAR M6 (model C2-511801-0060)

Machine tap FANAR M6 (model C2-511801-0060) is a precision tool intended for cutting internal metric threads M6 in suitable materials. Designed for use in machine tapping operations, this tap is compatible with standard tapping machines and machining centres when proper holders and settings are used. The tool provides controlled chip evacuation and consistent thread geometry for assembly, maintenance, and production tasks that require reliable M6 internal threads.

Advantages

The FANAR M6 machine tap offers accurate thread form and repeatability across production runs, helping maintain assembly tolerances. Its geometry and flute design support efficient cutting and chip removal, reducing the likelihood of tap breakage when used with appropriate speeds, feeds and lubrication. The tool is manufactured to consistent dimensional standards to ensure interchangeability and predictable fit with M6 bolts and fasteners.

Suitable for

• Machine tapping operations on drilling machines, tapping heads, and machining centres
• Production runs requiring repeated M6 internal threads
• Maintenance and repair work where M6 threaded holes must be reestablished
• Materials appropriate for machine taps such as steels, cast irons and some non-ferrous alloys (subject to material-specific tooling parameters)

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6 metric internal thread
• Intended use: machine tapping (not hand tapping)
• Flute design: optimized for chip evacuation in machine tapping
• Material and coating: manufactured to industry tooling standards for durability (refer to supplier for exact metallurgical details)
• Compatibility: for use with standard machine tap holders and tapping attachments

How to use

Secure the FANAR M6 tap in a suitable machine tap holder or tapping head and set the machine to the recommended spindle speed and feed for the workpiece material. Use cutting fluid or lubricant appropriate for the material to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life. Align the tap carefully with the hole axis, start the tapping cycle, and monitor chip formation; retract the tap periodically if required to clear chips and prevent clogging. Follow machine and tooling manufacturer instructions for safe setup and operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match cutting speed, feed and lubrication to the specific workpiece material. Use appropriate depth control and chip evacuation practices, and replace the tap when wear or damage affects thread quality. Consult FANAR or tooling supplier documentation for detailed machining parameters and recommended holders.
