Machine Tap FANAR M3 C2-518801-0030

FANAR machine tap for M3 threads (model C2-518801-0030) is a precision cutting tool designed for producing internal metric threads with a 3 mm nominal diameter. Manufactured for use in production tapping machines and CNC equipment, this tap is intended for machinable materials commonly encountered in industrial and workshop environments. The tool is compatible with standard holders and is designed to deliver repeatable thread quality when used under appropriate machining conditions.

Advantages

The FANAR machine tap provides consistent thread geometry and dimensional accuracy suited to production runs and repair tasks. Its construction supports stable performance in automated tapping cycles and CNC tapping operations, reducing the need for frequent tool adjustments. The tool's compatibility with common holders simplifies tool changes and integration into existing machining setups.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M3 metric threads in metals and machinable alloys
• Production tapping machines and CNC tapping operations
• Workshop maintenance, prototyping, and small-series manufacturing

Key specifications

• Thread nominal diameter: 3 mm
• Thread type: metric internal thread
• Intended application: machine tapping and CNC use
• Compatibility: fits standard tapping holders
• Material suitability: machinable metals and common alloys

How to use

Mount the tap securely in a compatible holder or tapping adaptor and set the machine for the appropriate spindle speed, feed, and tapping cycle for a 3 mm metric thread. Use suitable cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life. Align the tap accurately with the pre-drilled hole and initiate the tapping cycle, monitoring feed and torque to avoid overload. Retract the tap carefully after completion of each thread to clear chips and prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, match drill diameter and machine parameters to the material being tapped, use appropriate cutting fluid, and inspect the tap periodically for wear. In automated or high-production environments, consider using tapping cycles with rigid tapping or synchronized spindle/axis control to reduce stress on the tool and improve thread consistency.
