Machine Tap FANAR G1/8" – model D2-511101-3123, thread G1/8"

Machine tap FANAR G1/8" – model D2-511101-3123 is a precision cutting tool designed to form internal G1/8" threads in pipe fittings and components. Manufactured by FANAR for machine tapping and CNC operations, this tap produces standardized G1/8" internal threads compatible with ISO/BSP-style fittings. It is intended for industrial and workshop environments where repeatable, accurate thread forms are required for assembly and fluid or pneumatic connections.

Advantages

This FANAR machine tap offers dimensional accuracy and consistency across multiple cycles, suitable for both manual machine tapping and automated CNC processes. The tool is constructed to provide reliable chip evacuation and stable cutting performance, reducing the risk of thread defects. Its design supports efficient engagement with commonly used G1/8" fittings, facilitating fast setup and predictable results in production and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal G1/8" threads in metal pipe fittings and components
• Machine tapping operations on drill presses, tapping heads, and CNC machines
• Industrial production, maintenance, and workshop repair tasks requiring G1/8" threads
• Fluid, pneumatic, and instrumentation connections where standardized threads are needed

Key specifications

• Thread form: internal G1/8" (ISO/BSP-style)
• Intended use: machine tapping and CNC threading
• Application material: suitable for common metals used in fittings (e.g., steel, brass, aluminium) — verify material compatibility before use
• Typical use environment: industrial and workshop machinery

How to use

Secure the workpiece and select appropriate clamping to prevent movement. Use recommended spindle speeds and feed rates for the workpiece material and machine type. Align the tap accurately with the hole axis, apply suitable cutting fluid for the material, and use controlled feed to avoid excessive torque. Retract periodically to break chips where applicable and complete the thread to the required depth. Inspect the finished thread with thread gauges or mating components to confirm correct form and fit.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match cutting speeds and lubricants to the workpiece material, maintain sharp tool condition, and verify hole size and concentricity before tapping. When using CNC equipment, program conservative axial feed on initial passes and monitor torque to prevent tool breakage. Replace the tap if wear or damage affects thread quality.
