Threading Tap FANAR M16 D2-511801-0160 — machine tap for M16 threads

The FANAR machine threading tap for M16 threads (model D2-511801-0160) is designed for cutting precise internal metric M16 threads in production and repair environments. Intended for use with machining centres and tapping machines, this machine tap produces standard-compliant M16 threads for components in mechanical assemblies. The tool is compatible with common tap holders and is suitable for a range of metalworking operations where accurate internal thread geometry is required.

Advantages

This FANAR machine tap delivers consistent thread quality and repeatability when used with appropriate machines and holders. Its design supports stable engagement and efficient chip evacuation under normal machining parameters. The tap provides reliable thread form and dimensional accuracy for M16 applications, helping to reduce rework and ensure interchangeability of threaded parts.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal metric M16 threads in steel and other machinable metals
• Production runs on machining centres and tapping machines
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring renewal of M16 threads
• Assembly operations where standard M16 fasteners are used

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16 metric internal thread
• Tool type: machine tap for power tapping
• Application: suitable for use on machining centres and tapping machines
• Compatibility: designed to fit standard tap holders and power tapping spindles
• Typical materials: engineered for machining of steel and common machinable metals

How to use

Install the tap in an appropriate tap holder or machine spindle and ensure proper alignment with the hole axis. Use a pilot hole sized for M16 threading according to the material and thread pitch standards. Set machine speed and feed to values appropriate for the workpiece material and the tap manufacturer's guidance. Engage the tap smoothly, monitor chip formation and coolant flow, and reverse or apply pecking cycles if required by the machine to avoid tap breakage. After threading, retract the tap carefully and inspect thread form and dimensions.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use suitable cutting fluid and verify pilot hole diameter before tapping. Adjust spindle speed and feed according to material hardness and thickness, and replace the tap when wear degrades thread quality to maintain dimensional accuracy.
