Machine Tap FANAR M6 (MPN C4-525301-0060/WYC) for thread cutting

FANAR machine tap M6 is a precision cutting tool designed for creating internal M6 metric threads in a range of workpiece materials. Manufactured to fit standard M6 thread tolerances, this machined tap is intended for use in industrial and workshop threading operations on suitable machines and machines setups. The tool profile and flute geometry are optimized for stable chip evacuation and accurate thread form when used with appropriate cutting parameters and lubrication.

Advantages

This FANAR tap offers consistent thread quality and dimensional accuracy for M6 internal threads. Its rigid construction and precise flute geometry support reliable chip control and reduced risk of tool breakage under normal machining conditions. The tool is compatible with standard machine tapping processes, enabling repeatable results across production runs and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Creating M6 internal threads in metal components
• Production and maintenance threading on CNC and manual tapping machines
• Workshop repairs and assembly operations requiring M6 threads
• Threading in materials compatible with the tap's flute and geometry (steel, aluminum alloys, and similar metals)

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6 metric internal thread
• Tool type: machine tap for use in machine tapping operations
• Material and construction: machined cutting tool designed for metalworking
• Flute geometry: designed for chip evacuation and stable cutting (specific flute counts and angles depend on variant)
• Intended use: industrial and workshop threading on appropriate machines with correct speeds and feeds

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure the machine tapping setup is correctly aligned. Select suitable spindle speed, feed and lubrication for the workpiece material. Start the tapping cycle, monitoring torque and chip formation; withdraw the tap periodically if required to clear chips. Follow machine manufacturer guidance and standard safe machining practices. Use correct collets or holders to reduce runout and ensure the tap enters the hole squarely to obtain accurate M6 threads.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid or lubricant appropriate for the machined material to improve surface finish and extend tool life. For hardened or abrasive materials, verify material compatibility before use and consider pre-drilling to the recommended core diameter for M6 threads. Replace the tap if signs of wear, chipping, or excessive runout are observed to maintain thread quality and prevent workpiece damage.
