FANAR machine tap 1/8" inch thread D2-111801-3123

FANAR machine tap 1/8" (model D2-111801-3123) is a precision metalworking cutting tool designed to produce internal inch threads with a 1/8" nominal size. Intended for use in machine tapping operations, this tap is suitable for production and repair environments where consistent, repeatable threading in metals and alloys is required. It is manufactured to deliver accurate thread form and dimensional stability when used with appropriate tapping machines or machining centers.

Advantages

This FANAR machine tap offers consistent thread quality and durability for repeated machine tapping cycles. Its geometry is optimized for cutting and forming internal threads with minimal deflection under machine feed, which helps maintain thread accuracy. The tap's design facilitates chip evacuation when paired with compatible cutting fluids and machine settings, reducing the risk of thread damage. It is suitable for standard 1/8" inch internal thread applications and integrates with common tooling setups used in production and maintenance workshops.

Suitable for

• Machine tapping operations in production environments
• Repair and maintenance threading tasks requiring 1/8" internal threads
• Threading in various metals and metal alloys when used with appropriate cutting fluids
• Use in machining centers and tapping heads compatible with inch taps

Key specifications

• Thread nominal size: 1/8" inch internal thread
• Product type: machine tap for inch threads
• Intended application: internal thread cutting/forming in metals and alloys
• Compatibility: designed for use in tapping machines, machining centers, and tapping heads that accept inch taps

How to use

Select the correct tap holder and ensure the tapping machine or machining center is set for the required thread depth and pitch corresponding to a 1/8" inch thread. Clamp the tap securely in the appropriate tool holder, apply suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and aid chip removal, and set appropriate spindle speed and feed for the workpiece material. Engage the tap with steady feed, monitor chip evacuation, and use machine pecking or reversing cycles if available to avoid chip clogging. After threading, retract the tap carefully, clean chips from the hole, and inspect the thread with gauges or appropriate measuring tools.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluids suitable for the workpiece material and adjust speed/feed according to the metal being machined. For blind holes, employ pecking cycles or partial retraction to break chips. Inspect taps periodically for wear and replace when thread quality degrades to maintain consistent results.
