Threading Tap FANAR M2 extended — machine tap for M2 threads

FANAR machine threading tap for M2 threads, extended length, designed for cutting and restoring internal metric threads of size M2. The tool is intended for use in machine tapping operations where an extended reach is required, such as machining deeper bores or working on components with limited external access. The tap is manufactured to the dimensional and cutting standards typical for metric machine taps and is compatible with machines and holders designed for standard M2 tooling.

Advantages

The extended shank and flute length provide greater reach compared with standard M2 taps, reducing the need for special fixtures or disassembly of surrounding parts. The tool’s geometry is optimized for reliable chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole tapping within its material compatibility range. Precision-ground cutting edges ensure consistent thread profile and reduce the risk of cross-threading during machine operations, while the overall construct offers rigidity suitable for repeatable production and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M2 internal threads in production components
• Restoring worn or damaged M2 threads in assemblies
• Tapping deeper bores or components with limited external access
• Automated machine tapping processes and CNC applications

Key specifications

• Thread size: M2 internal metric thread
• Type: machine tap with extended length (long reach)
• Cutting style: straight flute suitable for standard machine tapping
• Material compatibility: suitable for typical machinable metals and alloys used with standard machine taps
• Shank style: designed for machine holders and collets compatible with small-diameter taps

How to use

Secure the tap in an appropriate machine holder or collet designed for small-diameter taps and align it with the predrilled hole of correct nominal diameter for M2 threads. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and set the machine to the recommended spindle speed and feed for M2 tapping. Feed the tap straight into the hole under controlled machine feed, allow the tap to cut the full thread depth, and then reverse or use a programmed retream/cycle to clear chips and back out. Inspect the formed thread for profile and fit, and deburr the entrance if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use correct drill diameter and appropriate cutting lubricant for the workpiece material. For blind holes, monitor chip accumulation and use pecking or retract cycles in automated processes to prevent chip jamming. Replace the tap if wear or damage is detected to maintain thread quality and machine safety.
