FANAR M12 Machine Tap DIN 376B 6H HSSE-PM TiCN S-NC

The FANAR M12 machine tap is a high-precision threading tool engineered for demanding industrial metalworking environments. Manufactured from premium HSSE-PM powder metallurgy steel and enhanced with a specialized TiCN coating, this tool offers exceptional hardness and thermal stability. It adheres to the DIN 376B standard, featuring a 6H tolerance class, which ensures consistent and accurate thread production in a variety of metallic materials.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this machine tap lies in its advanced powder steel composition, which significantly improves toughness and resistance to abrasive wear compared to standard high-speed steel tools. The TiCN coating further reduces friction during the cutting process, allowing for higher cutting speeds and improved surface finish quality. This combination of material and coating results in an extended tool life, reducing the frequency of tool changes and increasing overall production efficiency in professional workshops.

Suitable for

• Threading operations in high-tensile steels
• Automated CNC machining centers
• Production environments requiring high dimensional accuracy
• Applications involving abrasive or difficult-to-machine materials

When it may not be suitable

This tap may not be the optimal choice for manual hand-tapping applications due to its specific design for machine-driven use. Additionally, it may not be suitable for extremely soft or gummy materials where different rake angles or coatings might be required to prevent chip clogging.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12
• Material: HSSE-PM (Powder Metallurgy High-Speed Steel)
• Coating: TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride)
• Standard: DIN 376B
• Tolerance class: 6H

How to use

To achieve optimal results, ensure the tap is securely mounted in a high-quality collet or tapping chuck within a rigid machine spindle. Proper alignment with the pre-drilled hole is essential to prevent breakage and ensure thread accuracy. Use a suitable cutting fluid or lubricant compatible with the workpiece material to facilitate chip evacuation and minimize heat generation during the threading process.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the M12 thread size with your specific project requirements
• Ensure your machine setup supports the DIN 376B shank dimensions
• Confirm that the workpiece material is suitable for high-performance HSSE-PM tools

Usage recommendations

Always monitor the cutting torque and inspect the threads periodically to ensure the tool remains sharp. Replace the tap immediately if signs of wear or chipping appear to maintain the integrity of the threaded components.
