Machine Tap FANAR M16 D2-511101-0160

Machine tap FANAR M16 D2-511101-0160 is a cutting tool designed for producing and restoring internal metric threads sized M16. Manufactured for machine tapping operations, this tap is intended to be used in lathes, milling machines with tapping heads, or dedicated tapping machines where a straight-thread M16 tool is required. The tool matches standard M16 thread dimensions and is suitable for industrial and workshop environments where precision thread cutting is needed.

Advantages

The FANAR M16 machine tap provides consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy when used in compatible machinery. Its geometry is optimized for effective chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces during machine tapping cycles. The solid construction ensures repeatable performance for production runs or repair work, while compatibility with standard M16 applications simplifies tool selection for common metric thread requirements.

Suitable for

• Creating new M16 internal threads in metal components
• Restoring damaged or worn M16 threads
• Production tapping operations on lathes, milling machines, and tapping machines
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring standard M16 metric threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16 metric internal thread
• Tool type: machine tap for use in powered tapping equipment
• Application: straight thread cutting and thread restoration
• Suitable materials: compatible with common workshop metals (steel, alloy steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals) when proper speeds and lubricants are used
• Design focus: chip evacuation and dimensional repeatability in machine tapping processes

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure correct alignment of the tapping axis with the hole. Select an appropriate pilot hole diameter for M16 threads and set machine speed and feed according to the material and tap geometry. Use a suitable cutting fluid or lubricant to improve cutting performance and tool life. Engage the tap with consistent axial feed, and, if using a reversing tapping head or CNC cycle, allow the tap to retract periodically to clear chips. After tapping, inspect the thread with gauges or mating fasteners to confirm correct form and fit.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match spindle speed and feed to material hardness, maintain proper lubrication, and verify hole size before tapping. Replace the tap if signs of wear or damage appear to maintain thread quality and avoid workpiece damage.
