Machine Tap FANAR M6 — metric M6 machine threading tap, model D2-511801-0060

The FANAR machine tap M6 is designed for producing standard metric M6 internal threads in machine-operated threading processes. It is intended for use in workshop and industrial production where accurate, repeatable M6 threads are required for assembly and repair tasks. The tool is manufactured to dimensional and cutting specifications suitable for typical metalworking applications and is compatible with machine tapping holders and fixtures used in production environments.

Advantages

This machine tap provides consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy for M6 threads, supporting reliable assembly and interchangeability of components. It is built for machine use, enabling efficient, repeatable tapping cycles and reducing the need for manual finishing. The design facilitates chip evacuation and stable cutting action in common engineering materials, contributing to longer tool life when used under appropriate conditions.

Suitable for

• Production tapping of metric M6 internal threads in metals and alloys
• Machine shop operations using tapping heads or tapping spindles
• Component assembly and repair where standard M6 threads are required
• Batch production and repetitive machining tasks

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6 (metric)
• Intended use: machine tapping
• Geometry: designed for standard M6 internal thread form
• Material compatibility: suitable for common metals and engineering alloys
• Application environment: workshop and industrial machine operations

How to use

Install the tap in a compatible machine tapping holder or spindle and secure according to the machine manufacturer's instructions. Align the tap with the pre-drilled hole sized for an M6 thread, apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material, and set the machine speed and feed to values suitable for the material and tap size. Monitor chip formation and retract periodically if required for chip clearance. After threading, clean the threaded hole to remove chips and residual cutting fluid.

Usage recommendations

Use the tap with correct pre-drilled hole diameter for M6 threads and select cutting speeds and feeds appropriate for the workpiece material to maximize tool life. Employ suitable cutting fluid and ensure reliable chip evacuation by periodic retraction or using through-tool coolant where available. Inspect threads after tapping for dimensional accuracy and surface condition before assembly.
