FANAR machine tap M3 threaded tap C2-513X01-0030 for cutting internal M3 threads

FANAR machine tap M3 (C2-513X01-0030) is a precision-cutting tool intended for creating internal M3 threads in metals and other compatible materials. Engineered for machine use, this tap produces accurate metric threads with consistent profile and pitch, making it suitable for production environments, repair work, and precision assembly where standard M3 internal threads are required.

Advantages

This machine tap offers high dimensional accuracy and repeatability when used in milling machines, CNC machines, or tapping heads. Its design supports stable cutting performance and helps maintain thread quality across multiple workpieces. The tool is compatible with common workshop setups and is intended for use where machine-controlled feed and spindle are available, reducing the risk of thread deformation compared with manual tapping.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M3 threads in steel, aluminum, brass and similar metals
• Production runs on CNC machines and milling machines
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring replacement or re-threading of M3 holes
• Automated tapping heads and machine tapping operations

Key specifications

• Thread size: M3 (metric)
• Intended use: machine tapping (not hand tap)
• Application materials: metals and compatible machinable materials
• Designed for use in milling machines, CNC machines, and tapping heads
• Precision for repeatable thread profile and pitch

How to use

Secure the workpiece and set up the machine according to the material and recommended cutting parameters. Mount the tap in a collet or appropriate tool holder designed for machine tapping. Align the tap with the hole axis, apply suitable cutting fluid if required for the material, and engage the machine feed at the proper speed and feed rate for M3 threading. Retract the tap carefully after cutting to clear chips and avoid damage to the newly formed thread. Follow machine manufacturer guidance for speeds, feeds, and tapping cycles.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped and ensure rigid clamping of both tool and workpiece. Verify machine speed and feed settings for M3 threading to achieve clean threads and extend tool life. Inspect threads after tapping and remove chips between passes if performing interrupted or deep threading operations.
