Machine Tap FANAR M4 (model D2-121101-0040) for threading metal

FANAR machine tap M4 (model D2-121101-0040) is a precision tool designed for creating internal M4 metric threads in metal workpieces. Intended for machine tapping operations, this tap is suitable for both automated and manual machines used in production, repair and metalworking environments where accurate and repeatable M4 threads are required.

Advantages

The FANAR M4 machine tap provides consistent thread geometry and good surface finish when used with appropriate cutting parameters and lubrication. Its construction ensures stability during high-speed or repetitive tapping cycles, reducing the risk of thread errors. The tool is compatible with common machine tapping holders and fixtures, allowing straightforward integration into existing machining setups.

Suitable for

• Producing internal M4 metric threads in steel, aluminum and other machinable metals
• Automated tapping operations on CNC machines and tapping heads
• Manual or semi-automatic tapping in repair and maintenance shops
• Small-batch production and prototype manufacturing requiring M4 threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M4 metric
• Intended use: machine tapping for internal threads
• Material compatibility: suitable for common machinable metals such as steel and aluminum
• Application environment: production, repair, and metalworking shops

How to use

Secure the workpiece and align the tap accurately with the pre-drilled hole sized to the correct drill diameter for an M4 thread. Install the tap in a machine tapping holder or chuck designed for machine taps, ensuring axial alignment and secure clamping. Select appropriate spindle speed and feed based on the workpiece material and use cutting fluid or lubricant to improve chip evacuation and surface finish. Monitor the tapping process and withdraw the tap carefully after threading to clear chips and avoid damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the correct drill size for M4 threads, maintain proper lubrication, and follow machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds. Inspect taps regularly for wear or damage and replace when thread quality declines to ensure consistent results.
