Machine Tap FANAR M5 C2-513X01-0050

FANAR machine tap M5 C2-513X01-0050 is a precision cutting tool designed to produce M5 metric internal threads in machined parts. Intended for use in tapping machines and machining centres, the tap provides consistent, accurate thread geometry for production and repair tasks on metals and compatible engineering materials. The tool is suitable for single-pass and multi-pass tapping operations depending on material and machine setup, and it is compatible with standard tool holders used in automated and manual tapping equipment.

Advantages

The FANAR M5 machine tap delivers reliable thread quality and repeatability across series production and workshop jobs. Its design supports efficient chip evacuation and minimizes insertion torque, contributing to lower tool wear and extended service life under correct operating conditions. The tap is made for straightforward integration into standard tapping cycles and provides stable performance when used with appropriate cutting parameters and lubrication.

Suitable for

• Creating M5 metric internal threads in milled, turned or drilled parts
• Serial production in machining centres and tapping machines
• Workshop repairs and maintenance on metal components
• Tapping in compatible materials such as steel alloys, castings and non-ferrous metals (subject to correct cutting data)

Key specifications

• Thread size: M5 metric
• Tool type: machine tap for use in tapping machines and machining centres
• Intended operation: thread cutting for internal threads
• Suitable materials: metals and compatible engineering materials (use appropriate cutting data)
• Application mode: suitable for single-pass and multi-pass tapping depending on material and setup

How to use

Install the tap securely in a compatible tool holder or tapping head and align it with the prepared hole. Select cutting speed, feed and lubrication appropriate for the workpiece material and machine rigidity. Engage the tap using the machine’s tapping cycle or manual feed, ensuring straight axial alignment to avoid thread distortion. Retract the tap periodically or use an automatic reverse cycle to clear chips and prevent clogging. Inspect threads after tapping for dimensional accuracy and surface condition, and replace the tap when wear affects thread quality.

Usage recommendations

Use recommended cutting speeds and lubrication specific to the workpiece material; ensure correct hole size and chamfer before tapping; monitor tool condition and replace when rounded or chipped teeth reduce thread quality. When tapping harder alloys, reduce feed rate and increase coolant flow to maintain tool life and thread accuracy.
