Machine Tap FANAR M12 D2-111121-0120 — metric M12 thread size

FANAR machine tap M12 (D2-111121-0120) is a precision cutting tool designed to create or repair internal metric M12 threads in a range of metals and metal alloys. Intended for machine tapping operations, this tap provides consistent thread geometry when used with compatible tapping machinery and appropriate cutting fluids. The tool is built to meet standard metric M12 dimensions and to integrate into production and repair workflows where accurate, repeatable threading is required.

Advantages

This FANAR machine tap offers stable thread cutting performance and dimensional consistency suitable for serial production and maintenance work. The tool’s geometry is optimized for reliable chip evacuation and reduced risk of thread degradation when proper machine settings and lubricants are applied. It is engineered for compatibility with standard machine tapping holders and is suitable for automated and semi-automated tapping processes.

Suitable for

• Creating new internal M12 threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Repairing damaged or worn M12 threads in assemblies
• Machine tapping operations in production lines and workshops
• Use with CNC tapping heads and dedicated tapping machines

Key specifications

• Thread form: Metric ISO thread for M12
• Intended use: Machine tapping (internal threads)
• Material compatibility: Metals and standard alloys commonly machined with taps
• Cutting type: Through-tool cutting geometry for machine operations
• Recommended coolant: Use of appropriate cutting fluid for chip control and tool life

How to use

Install the tap securely in a compatible machine tapping holder or spindle designed for hand-off machine tapping. Align the tap to the pre-drilled and properly prepared hole sized for M12 threading. Set machine feed and spindle speed according to the workpiece material and tap manufacturer guidance. Apply suitable cutting fluid throughout the operation to improve chip evacuation and reduce tool wear. Retract the tap periodically or use a synchronized reverse cycle to clear chips as required by the machine cycle.

Usage recommendations

For best results, verify hole diameter and tolerance before tapping, select cutting speeds and feeds that match the workpiece material, and ensure consistent lubrication. Inspect threads after tapping and replace the tap when signs of wear or dull cutting edges appear to maintain thread quality.
