Machine Tap FANAR M10 (model D2-121101-0100) for threading metal

Machine tap FANAR M10 (model D2-121101-0100) is a cutting tool designed for producing M10 internal metric threads in metal components. Intended for use in machine tapping operations, this tap is compatible with lathes, milling machines and CNC equipment. It is suitable for repair, metalworking and manufacturing environments where standard metric M10 threads are required and where consistent thread geometry and tool life are priorities.

Advantages

The FANAR M10 machine tap offers precise thread cutting with a geometry optimised for reliable chip evacuation and reduced risk of thread damage. Manufactured to consistent dimensional tolerances, it delivers repeatable results in series production and single-part repairs. Its design supports efficient machining cycles on automated equipment while maintaining thread accuracy and surface finish.

Suitable for

• Creating M10 internal threads in steel, aluminium and other common metals
• Machine tapping operations on lathes, milling machines and CNC machines
• Maintenance and repair work requiring replacement or repair of threaded holes
• Small- to medium-batch production environments

Key specifications

• Thread size: M10 (metric)
• Intended use: machine tapping for internal threads
• Compatible equipment: lathes, milling machines, CNC machining centers
• Material application: suitable for common metals including steel and aluminium
• Design features: chip evacuation geometry and standard metric thread profile

How to use

Secure the tap in an appropriate machine holder or tapping head rated for machine tapping. Align the tool with the prepared hole and run the machine at speeds and feeds suitable for the workpiece material and tap size. Use cutting fluid or appropriate coolant to reduce heat and improve chip removal. For blind holes, use short pecking cycles or an automated tapping cycle to clear chips and avoid tool breakage. Monitor thread quality and replace the tap if wear affects thread form or dimensional accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Select cutting speed and feed according to the workpiece material; use lubricant for ferrous materials and appropriate cooling for aluminium. Inspect hole size and chamfer before tapping to ensure correct thread engagement. For production runs, check threads periodically and replace the tap when wear or chipping begins to affect results.
