Machine Tap FANAR M12 (model D4-565001-0120) for threading M12

FANAR machine tap M12 (model D4-565001-0120) is a precision cutting tool engineered for creating internal metric M12 threads in metallic workpieces. Intended for industrial environments, this machine tap is compatible with tapping machines and CNC equipment where reliable, repeatable thread cutting is required. The tool's geometry and hardness are designed to handle standard production runs and repair operations that demand consistent M12 thread quality.

Advantages

The FANAR machine tap provides stable thread profiles and dimensional accuracy for M12 threads, reducing the need for rework. Its construction supports use in automated tapping processes and offers wear resistance suitable for repeated cycles in production. The tap’s design contributes to efficient chip evacuation and consistent thread form when used with appropriate cutting parameters and lubrication.

Suitable for

• Production machining of internal M12 threads on metal components
• CNC tapping operations requiring repeatable M12 thread quality
• Repair and maintenance work involving replacement or recreation of M12 threads
• Small to medium production runs in industrial workshops

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12 metric internal thread
• Tool type: machine tap suitable for use in tapping machines and CNC equipment
• Application material: metals (general-purpose metalworking)
• Intended use: production and repair threading operations

How to use

Secure the tap in the machine spindle or tapping holder following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the workpiece is clamped and aligned. Select appropriate spindle speed, feed, and coolant or cutting fluid for the specific metal being machined. Advance the tap into the pre-drilled hole sized for M12 threads, using pecking or reversing cycles as required by the machine to break chips and prevent tap breakage. After threading, retract the tap carefully and inspect the internal thread for fit and correct profile.

Usage recommendations

Use a proper hole size for M12 threads and select cutting speeds and lubricants that match the workpiece material. Monitor tool wear and replace the tap when thread quality degrades. For automated CNC tapping, program dwell or reversing steps to improve chip control and extend tool life.
