Threading Tap FANAR M12 extended machine tap F1-151001-0120

FANAR extended machine threading tap for M12 threads is a precision tool designed for cutting and restoring internal metric M12 threads in machine tapping operations. The extended shank provides extra reach, enabling access to deeper bores or locations that are difficult to reach with standard-length taps. Constructed for use with tapping machines, this tap is intended for production and repair environments where consistent thread quality and repeatable performance are required.

Advantages

The extended design increases reach without compromising thread geometry, allowing operators to machine threads in deep or recessed holes. Built to meet machining tolerances, the tap supports accurate thread profile and smooth chip evacuation when used with appropriate cutting parameters and lubrication. Its compatibility with standard M12 fasteners simplifies tool selection for common metric applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M12 metric threads in through and blind holes
• Repairing worn or damaged M12 threads
• Machine tapping operations in production runs
• Applications requiring increased reach into deep or hard-to-access bores

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12 metric
• Type: extended machine tap for use in tapping machines
• Intended use: cutting and restoring internal threads
• Shank: extended length for increased reach
• Suitable materials: typical machinable metals and alloys when using correct cutting data and coolant

How to use

Secure the tap in the appropriate machine spindle or tapping holder ensuring correct alignment with the hole axis. Select proper spindle speed, feed and cutting fluid according to the workpiece material and machine capabilities. For blind holes, maintain controlled feed and retract periodically to clear chips. Use correct clamping and support for the workpiece to prevent movement during tapping. Inspect thread quality after machining and perform any required cleaning or deburring.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid suitable for the workpiece material and adhere to recommended spindle speeds and feeds. Replace the tap when wear or damage affects thread accuracy. For best results in high-volume or difficult materials, test and optimize cutting parameters on sample workpieces before production.
