Machine Tap FANAR M16, model D2-111801-0160

FANAR machine tap M16, model D2-111801-0160, is a tool designed for creating and repairing internal metric threads with an M16 profile in metal components. It is made for machine tapping operations and is compatible with standard M16 thread dimensions, enabling precision threading in production and maintenance environments. The tap is intended for use in lathes, tapping heads and CNC machines where consistent thread geometry and repeatability are required.

Advantages

The FANAR M16 machine tap provides accurate thread form and dimensional conformity to M16 standards, supporting reliable assembly and interchangeability of threaded parts. Its geometry and cutting profile are optimized for machine-driven tapping, helping to reduce cycle time and improve surface finish compared with manual tapping. The tool is suitable for repeated use in manufacturing settings and maintenance operations, offering predictable performance when used with appropriate machine parameters and cutting fluids.

Suitable for

• Production threading of M16 holes in metal components on CNC machines
• Repairing damaged or worn M16 internal threads during maintenance
• Use in tapping heads and automatic tapping stations for series production
• Threading operations on lathes where machine tapping fixtures are employed

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16 metric internal thread
• Intended use: machine tapping (CNC, lathes, tapping heads)
• Thread standard: compatible with standard M16 thread geometry
• Material application: designed for use on common metals (steel, stainless steel, aluminium) when appropriate speeds and feeds are selected
• Tool form: machine tap with cutting geometry suitable for production tapping

How to use

Secure the workpiece in the machine or fixture to prevent movement during tapping. Choose appropriate spindle speed, feed and tapping cycle settings for M16 threads and the workpiece material. Ensure correct alignment between the tap and the hole axis before engaging the tool. Apply suitable cutting fluid or lubricant to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life. Monitor the operation and, on completion, retract the tap using the machine's reversing function or programmed retreat to clear chips from the thread.

Usage recommendations

Use recommended machine parameters for M16 tapping in the specific material being processed, maintain proper chip evacuation, and replace the tap when wear affects thread quality; adherence to these practices ensures consistent, precise M16 internal threads in production and maintenance applications.
