Metric machine tap FANAR M12, model D2-111101-0125

Metric machine tap FANAR M12 (model D2-111101-0125) is a precision cutting tool intended for creating or restoring internal metric threads with an M12 profile in metallic and non-ferrous workpieces. Designed for machine tapping operations, this FANAR M12 tap ensures consistent thread geometry and fits standard M12 nuts and bolts. The tool is suitable for production environments and maintenance workshops where repeatable, accurate internal threads are required.

Advantages

The FANAR M12 machine tap offers high dimensional accuracy and repeatability suitable for machine-driven tapping. Its geometry is optimized for reliable chip formation and evacuation in through and blind holes when used with appropriate coolant and feed rates. Manufactured to FANAR quality standards, the tap provides a balance between cutting performance and tool life for routine industrial and repair applications.

Suitable for

• Machining internal M12 metric threads in steel, stainless steel, aluminum and non-ferrous alloys
• Machine tapping operations on lathes, milling machines or CNC tapping heads
• Production runs, maintenance, and repair tasks requiring consistent M12 thread standards

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12 (metric internal thread)
• Tool type: machine tap for mechanical tapping operations
• Intended use: cutting or repairing internal M12 threads
• Compatibility: designed for use with machine tapping spindles and tapping heads
• Typical materials: suitable for carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals

How to use

Mount the FANAR M12 machine tap securely in the appropriate machine spindle or tapping head. Select proper spindle speed and feed based on workpiece material and hole depth; use recommended cutting fluids to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life. For blind holes, use pecking or incremental withdrawal to clear chips. Follow standard tapping practices: ensure correct pilot hole diameter for M12 threading, align the tap with the hole axis, and maintain steady feed to avoid breakage.

Usage recommendations

Use the tap with appropriate cutting lubricant and machine settings matched to the workpiece material. Check pilot hole diameter and alignment before tapping, and replace the tap if wear or chipping is observed to maintain thread quality and avoid part damage.
