Machine Tap FANAR M2 C4-528M01-0020 — metric M2 machine threading tap

Machine tap FANAR M2 (C4-528M01-0020) is a metric M2 machine threading tap for producing internal threads in metal and other machinable materials. Designed by FANAR for use in lathes, milling machines and tapping heads, this tap delivers accurate M2 threads for small-diameter applications in production and repair environments. The tool is intended for machine tapping operations where consistent thread geometry and repeatability are required.

Advantages

The FANAR M2 machine tap features a design focused on dimensional accuracy and smooth cutting action to minimise tool chatter and reduce workpiece deformation. It is suited to high-precision machine tapping setups and provides reliable thread profiles in small holes. Its geometry supports efficient chip evacuation appropriate for materials commonly used in small-part manufacturing and repair.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Creating M2 internal threads in metallic components
• Machine tapping in lathes, milling machines and dedicated tapping heads
• Production runs of small threaded parts and assembly components
• Repair and maintenance work requiring replacement or restoration of small-diameter threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M2 metric
• Intended use: machine tapping (not hand tap)
• Application materials: metals and machinable materials suitable for machine tapping
• Geometry: machine-grade tap profile for consistent internal thread form

How to use

Mount the tap securely in the machine spindle or tapping head following your machine manufacturer's instructions. Align the tap to the hole axis and use appropriate spindle speed and feed for M2 threads in the chosen material. Apply suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and improve chip flow. Retract the tap carefully after cutting to clear chips and inspect the thread for correct form and fit. Use proper machine settings to avoid excessive axial load or tap breakage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select cutting speeds and feeds matched to the workpiece material and machine rigidity. Use appropriate cutting fluid and ensure chip ejection paths are clear to prevent tap binding. Verify thread fit with calibrated gauges when thread accuracy is critical.
