FANAR machine tap imperial 3/8" model D2-121101-4629

FANAR machine tap imperial 3/8" model D2-121101-4629 is a production-grade cutting tool designed for creating internal 3/8" threads in metal components using a tapping machine or drill press. Manufactured for repeatable, accurate performance in workshop and industrial environments, this FANAR machine tap is intended to work with standard machine tap holders and fixtures to provide consistent thread quality and long tool life when used according to machining parameters.

Advantages

This FANAR machine tap offers precise thread cutting with stable dimensional control and high repeatability for series production. Its construction provides good wear resistance and reliable chip formation for common metalworking materials, reducing the need for frequent regrinding in normal operating conditions. Compatibility with standard holders simplifies setup on machine tapping heads or drill presses, enabling faster changeovers and consistent results across batches.

Suitable for

• Production tapping of 3/8" internal threads in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop and industrial machining where machine-assisted tapping is required
• Applications requiring repeated, consistent thread quality and dimensional accuracy

Key specifications

• Thread size: 3/8" (imperial)
• Type: machine tap suitable for use in tapping machines and drill presses
• Material compatibility: designed for use in common metals including steel and non-ferrous alloys
• Fit: compatible with standard machine tap holders and tapping heads
• Intended use: production and workshop tapping for internal threads

How to use

Mount the FANAR machine tap securely in an appropriate machine tap holder or tapping head, ensuring correct axial alignment and clamping. Select cutting speed, feed, and lubrication appropriate to the workpiece material and tap size; use cutting fluid to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life. For blind holes use pecking or retraction cycles as recommended by the machine to clear chips; for through holes ensure continuous chip evacuation. Regularly inspect the tap for wear or damage and replace when thread quality degrades to maintain part tolerances.

Usage recommendations

Use recommended machining parameters for 3/8" taps in the specific workpiece material, apply suitable cutting fluid, and ensure secure mounting in standard machine tap holders. Avoid excessive feed or speed that can cause premature wear or tap breakage; monitor chip formation and thread quality during production runs.
