Tap — FANAR machine tap 2 mm (model C4-511101-0020)

FANAR machine tap with a nominal size of 2 mm (model C4-511101-0020) is designed for cutting internal metric threads in metal components on tapping machines and drilling machines. The tool is intended for production and repair tasks where small, precise threads are required. When used with appropriate holders and correct machining parameters, the tap delivers consistent thread profiles and repeatable results suitable for assembly and fastening applications.

Advantages

The FANAR 2 mm machine tap offers accurate thread cutting with stable geometry, promoting repeatability across batches. Its design supports use on both dedicated tapping machines and general-purpose drilling machines equipped for tapping, simplifying tool inventory. The tap's construction facilitates effective chip evacuation and reliable engagement with cutting surfaces when recommended speeds and feeds are observed.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M2 metric threads in metal parts
• Small-series production of threaded components
• Maintenance and repair of assemblies requiring M2 threads
• Use on tapping machines and drill presses adapted for tapping

Key specifications

• Nominal thread size: 2 mm (metric)
• Tool type: machine tap for internal threads
• Intended workpiece material: metal components (general engineering steels and similar metals)
• Typical mounting: suitable for standard tapping holders and adapters on tapping or drilling machines
• Function: cutting precise, repeatable internal threads

How to use

Secure the tap in a suitable tapping holder or chuck and align it perpendicular to the workpiece. Select appropriate spindle speed and feed matching the workpiece material and tap size, and use cutting fluid where recommended for improved chip control and tool life. Start with a properly sized pilot hole and advance the tap steadily without excessive axial force, reversing or ejecting chips as required by the machine's tapping cycle. Regularly inspect the formed threads and the tap for wear, replacing the tool when thread quality declines.

Usage recommendations

Use the FANAR 2 mm machine tap with correct pilot drill diameters, appropriate cutting lubricant, and machine settings adapted to the workpiece material. For high-volume production, monitor tool wear and maintain consistent coolant and chip evacuation practices to ensure repeatable thread quality.
