Threading Tap FANAR M18 machine tap D2-113X01-0180

The FANAR M18 machine threading tap (model D2-113X01-0180) is a cutting tool designed for producing internal M18 metric threads in metal components. Intended for use with machining centres and tapping machines, the tap provides consistent thread geometry when correctly mounted and operated under appropriate cutting conditions. The tool is suitable for industrial metalworking and maintenance tasks that require reliable M18 internal threads; verify machine compatibility and proper clamping before use.

Advantages

The tap delivers accurate M18 thread profiles and repeatable results across production runs when used with recommended speeds and lubrication. Its geometry is optimized for machine tapping processes, helping to reduce cycle times and minimize tool wear under normal operating conditions. The tool is compatible with standard tapping workflows in machining centres, providing straightforward integration into existing setups.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M18 threads in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Use in machining centres and dedicated tapping machines
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring metric internal threads
• Batch production where consistent thread quality is required

Key specifications

• Thread size: M18 metric internal thread
• Tool type: machine tapping tool for internal threads
• Application: intended for use in machining centres and tapping machines
• Material compatibility: suitable for common ferrous and non-ferrous metals (verify for specific alloys)
• Operation: designed for machine tapping with appropriate clamping and lubrication

How to use

Secure the tap in the machine spindle or tap holder according to the machine manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring proper concentricity and axial alignment. Select cutting speed, feed and lubrication appropriate to the workpiece material and tool geometry. Execute the tapping cycle using the machine’s tapping function or a controlled pecking routine where appropriate. After completing the thread, reverse the tap to remove it from the hole and inspect the thread profile and fit with a matching bolt or thread gauge.

Usage recommendations

Before production use, perform a trial cut on sample material to confirm speed, feed and coolant settings. Ensure secure clamping of the workpiece and correct tap mounting to avoid breakage. Use suitable cutting fluid for the material being machined and replace the tap when signs of wear or thread deterioration appear.
