Threading Tap FANAR M16x1.5 machine tap D2-111101-0165

FANAR machine threading tap M16x1.5 (model D2-111101-0165) is a precision tool for cutting internal metric threads with a nominal diameter of 16 mm and a pitch of 1.5 mm. Intended for use in machine tapping operations, this tap is compatible with standard tapping holders and tapping machines used in metalworking workshops and production environments. It is designed for repeated, consistent thread forming in components that require a standard M16x1.5 internal thread.

Advantages

The FANAR M16x1.5 machine tap provides accurate thread geometry and concentricity suitable for production runs. Its machine-grade construction ensures dimensional stability and repeatability during automated tapping cycles. The tool is compatible with common machine tapping setups, enabling straightforward integration into existing workflows. It is suitable for producing clean, standard metric threads in a variety of metal substrates when used with appropriate speeds, feeds and lubrication.

Suitable for

• Machine tapping of internal M16x1.5 threads in metal components
• Production and repair work in workshops and fabrication shops
• Automated tapping operations using tapping machines or CNC machining centers
• Creating replacement threaded holes in maintenance and refurbishment tasks

Key specifications

• Thread profile: Metric ISO coarse thread, M16 × 1.5
• Intended use: Machine tapping (not hand tapping)
• Material compatibility: Common metal substrates used in fabrication (steel, alloyed steel, castings, where appropriate)
• Application type: Internal thread cutting

How to use

Secure the FANAR M16x1.5 tap in a suitable machine tapping holder or collet and align it perpendicular to the workpiece surface. Pre-drill the hole to the correct drill diameter for an M16×1.5 internal thread following standard drilling charts. Set the machine to appropriate spindle speed and feed for the material being machined and apply a suitable cutting fluid. Run the tapping cycle according to the machine program or tapping machine procedure, ensuring controlled entry and withdrawal to avoid chip packing. Inspect the thread for correct form and fit after cutting.

Usage recommendations

Use recommended cutting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material, maintain proper lubrication to extend tool life, and replace the tap if wear or damage affects thread quality. Ensure correct pre-drilled hole diameter and machine alignment to achieve consistent M16x1.5 threads.
