Machine Tap FANAR 1/8" (D2-111101-3123) — inch-thread machine tap

FANAR machine tap 1/8" (inch-thread machine tap) is a cutting tool designed for machine tapping operations in metalworking. It forms or finishes internal 1/8" threads in a range of materials when used with drilling machines, tapping heads or dedicated tapping machines. The tool is intended for workshop and industrial environments where repeatable, accurate inch-threaded holes are required and is compatible with standard machine-tapping setups.

Advantages

The machine tap provides consistent thread geometry and dimensional accuracy for 1/8" internal threads, reducing the need for secondary finishing. It is manufactured to maintain cutting edges and flute form suitable for machine-driven tapping, which improves productivity and repeatability in series production. The tool’s design supports chip evacuation and stable engagement with the workpiece when used with appropriate speeds and feeds.

Suitable for

• Creating or repairing internal 1/8" inch threads in metal components
• Production drilling and tapping operations on machining centers and tapping heads
• Workshop and maintenance tasks requiring standardized inch threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: 1/8" (inch internal thread)
• Tool type: machine tap for machine tapping operations
• Application: forming or finishing internal threads in metal
• Compatibility: suitable for use with drilling machines, tapping heads and tapping machines

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure proper alignment between the tap and hole axis. Pre-drill the hole to the recommended drill size for a 1/8" thread before engaging the tap. Mount the tap in the machine spindle or tapping head with correct clamping to avoid runout. Use appropriate cutting speed, feed and lubrication for the workpiece material to control chip formation and prevent tool breakage. Retract the tap periodically if using a non-reversing machine or employ a tapping head with reverse function to clear chips and avoid jamming.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid compatible with the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Verify hole size and machine settings on test pieces when switching materials or changing machine parameters. Replace the tap when wear or damage affects thread quality.
