Hand Tap FANAR DIN-376C R40 HSSE TiN 800X M16 (MPN D2-513X01-0160)

FANAR hand tap DIN-376C R40 HSSE TiN 800X M16 is a manually operated threading tool designed for cutting internal metric threads to M16 size. Manufactured according to DIN-376C geometry with R40 tolerance, this hand tap is made from high-speed steel with cobalt (HSSE) and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating to improve wear resistance and reduce friction during cutting operations. The tool is intended for repair, maintenance and workshop threading tasks where a precision M16 hand tap is required.

Advantages

The HSSE material provides improved red hardness and toughness compared with conventional high-speed steel, supporting reliable performance in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life while helping to evacuate chips more smoothly. Conforming to DIN-376C geometry and R40 tolerance ensures compatibility with standard fitting dimensions and predictable thread quality when used correctly for manual tapping operations.

Suitable for

• Manual tapping of M16 internal threads in workshop and maintenance environments
• Repair and refurbishment of threaded holes in machinery and equipment
• Small-series or single-part production where manual threading is required
• General-purpose threading in steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals when appropriate cutting fluid is applied

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16 (metric)
• Standard geometry: DIN-376C
• Tolerance class: R40
• Material: HSSE (high-speed steel with cobalt)
• Coating: TiN (titanium nitride)
• Length class: 800X (long reach hand tap)
• Intended use: manual hand tapping

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure the hole is drilled to the recommended pilot diameter for M16 threads. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the work material. Insert the hand tap into a suitable tap wrench or holder and align it perpendicular to the hole. Start threading with steady pressure and rotate the tap slowly; back off periodically to break chips and clear the flutes. Continue until the required thread depth is reached, then reverse the tap to remove it. Clean the thread and inspect for dimensional accuracy and surface finish.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid matched to the work material and replace it as needed to minimize heat and wear. For stainless steels and other tough alloys, use pecking motions and frequent chip clearing. Store taps in a dry, protected holder to preserve the TiN coating and cutting edges. For critical assemblies, verify thread fit with a gauge before final assembly.
