Machine Tap FANAR M20 (model D2-511101-0200)

Machine tap FANAR M20 (model D2-511101-0200) is a straight flute machine tap designed for cutting internal metric threads with a nominal size of M20. It is intended for use in machine tapping operations and is compatible with standard tapping machines and suitable holders. The tool is intended for industrial and workshop environments where reliable production or repair of internal threaded holes is required.

Advantages

This FANAR M20 machine tap provides consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy when used with appropriate equipment and process parameters. Its geometry is optimized for machine tapping to reduce axial load and improve chip evacuation in typical metals and alloys. The tap is durable under correct cutting conditions and can be reground or replaced as part of regular tool maintenance to maintain performance.

Suitable for

• Producing M20 internal metric threads in through-holes and blind holes when using a machine tap cycle
• Repairing worn or damaged M20 threads in mechanical components
• High-volume machining centers and job-shop tapping operations
• Use in fixtures or holders that secure machine taps for automated tapping

Key specifications

• Thread standard: metric (M)
• Nominal thread size: M20
• Flute type: straight flute suitable for machine tapping
• Intended use: cutting internal threads (machine tap)
• Typical materials: suitable for a range of metals and alloys when correct feeds, speeds, and lubrication are applied

How to use

Secure the tap in a proper machine tap holder or spindle designed for tapping operations. Align the tap with the pre-drilled hole sized for an M20 thread and select the appropriate feed rate and spindle speed for the workpiece material. Use recommended cutting fluid or coolant to assist chip control and reduce heat. Engage the tap using the machine's tapping cycle; for blind holes, monitor depth and back off periodically to clear chips if the machine cycle does not provide chip evacuation. After tapping, inspect thread quality with gauges or go/no-go gauges as required.

Usage recommendations

Choose the correct pilot drill size for M20 threads and set feed and speed according to the workpiece material. Use adequate coolant and chip evacuation strategies for best results; replace or regrind the tap when wear affects thread quality.
