FANAR machine tap 1/8" inch — model D2-121101-3323

FANAR machine tap 1/8" inch — model D2-121101-3323 is a precision cutting tool designed for producing internal threads in metal components on milling or tapping machines. Intended for industrial machining, toolroom work and maintenance operations, this 1/8" machine tap provides consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy for applications that require small-diameter internal threads. The tool is suitable for both creating new threaded holes and repairing existing ones where an accurate 1/8" thread fit is required.

Advantages

The FANAR machine tap delivers reliable cutting performance and repeatable thread quality, reducing the need for secondary finishing. Its geometry supports efficient chip evacuation and stable engagement with the workpiece, which helps maintain thread concentricity and surface finish. The tap is produced to consistent tolerances appropriate for precision threading in metal, facilitating predictable assembly and repair operations.

Suitable for

• Creating internal 1/8" threads in steel, aluminium and non-ferrous alloys
• Repairing worn or damaged small threaded holes in mechanical parts
• Batch production runs on milling or tapping machines where consistent thread quality is required
• Toolroom and maintenance tasks that require precise small-diameter threading

Key specifications

• Thread size: 1/8" (inch) internal thread
• Intended use: machine tap for milling and tapping machines
• Material compatibility: suitable for common metals including steel and aluminium
• Application: cutting and repairing internal threads in precision parts
• Design intent: geometry optimised for chip evacuation and dimensional accuracy

How to use

Mount the machine tap in an appropriate holder or spindle suitable for the machine type. Select the correct spindle speed and feed based on workpiece material and tap geometry; use recommended cutting fluid to improve tool life and chip removal when machining metals. Align the tool with the hole axis, engage carefully, and apply steady feed. Monitor cutting conditions and retract to clear chips as required. For repair operations, ensure the hole is prepared to correct drill size before tapping.

Usage recommendations

Use proper cutting fluid and adjust speed/feed to the material being machined; verify thread fit with a gauge or mating fastener after tapping. For fragile or thin-walled parts, consider backing support or using a pilot to prevent distortion. Replace the tap if wear affects thread accuracy.
