Machine tap FANAR M16, model D2-111101-0160

Machine tap FANAR M16, model D2-111101-0160 is a cutting tool designed to produce internal M16 metric threads in metalworking operations. It is intended for use in automated tapping machines and CNC equipment where a dedicated M16 tapping tool is required. The tap is made to meet standard M16 thread geometry and provide consistent, repeatable thread forms for mechanical assembly and repair tasks.

Advantages

This FANAR M16 machine tap offers precise thread cutting performance and compatibility with standard M16 specifications. Its geometry and manufacturing tolerances are optimized for reliable chip evacuation and repeatable thread quality in series production or single-part work. The tool’s design supports integration with automated tapping systems and CNC spindles, which helps maintain consistent cycle times and reduce rework due to poor thread fit.

Suitable for

• Making internal M16 threads in steel and common ferrous materials
• Automated tapping machines and CNC machining centers
• Production runs and maintenance/repair operations requiring standard M16 threads
• Mechanical assembly where accurate M16 threaded connections are needed

Key specifications

• Thread type: Metric internal thread, M16
• Intended application: Machine tapping in automated or CNC equipment
• Material suitability: Metals commonly used in mechanical manufacturing (steel, cast iron, etc.)
• Design focus: Precision thread form and efficient chip evacuation

How to use

Install the FANAR M16 machine tap securely in the tapping spindle or tool holder according to the machine manufacturer’s instructions. Select appropriate cutting speed and feed for the workpiece material and ensure correct alignment with the pre-drilled hole sized for M16 threads. Use a suitable cutting fluid if recommended for the material to improve chip control and tool life. Monitor thread quality during initial parts and adjust parameters if necessary to achieve the required thread tolerance and surface finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, confirm hole diameter and material properties before tapping, use recommended cutting parameters for the workpiece material, and ensure proper machine rigidity and coolant application. Regular inspection of the tap for wear or damage is advised to maintain thread accuracy and prevent part rejection.
