FANAR machine tap M12 D2-511801-0120, metric M12 thread

FANAR machine tap D2-511801-0120 is designed for cutting metric M12 internal threads in machine tapping operations. Manufactured to suit industrial production and repair applications, this machine tap is intended for use with compatible tapping machines and holders to create precise threads in metal components and assemblies. The tool is optimized for repeatable performance in standard machining environments where reliable M12 threading is required.

Advantages

The tap offers consistent thread accuracy and repeatability, reducing the need for manual finishing. Its geometry is engineered for stable chip evacuation and reduced torque during the threading process, which helps extend tool life and maintain workpiece quality. The product is compatible with standard machine tapping setups, facilitating quick integration into existing production lines and repair stations.

Suitable for

• Cutting metric M12 internal threads in steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals (when used with appropriate machining parameters)
• Machine tapping operations on CNC and manual tapping machines
• Production runs and maintenance/repair tasks requiring repeatable M12 threads

Key specifications

• Thread size: metric M12
• Designed for machine tapping use
• Suitable for threading metal components and assemblies
• Geometry optimized for chip evacuation and stable cutting

How to use

Mount the tap securely in a compatible tapping holder or machine spindle. Select cutting speed, feed and coolant appropriate for the workpiece material and tap geometry. Align the tap with the pre-drilled hole to ensure correct engagement, then start the machine tapping cycle following standard machine and safety procedures. Monitor chip formation and tool condition during use and retract the tap appropriately at the end of the cut or when reversing cycle to avoid thread damage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate coolant or lubricant for the material being machined, set spindle speed and feed according to manufacturer guidelines for M12 threading, and inspect the tap regularly for wear. Replace the tool if threads show degradation or if excessive torque is observed during operation.
