Machine Tap FANAR M14x1.5 extended, model F1-151001-0145

Extended machine tap FANAR M14x1.5 (model F1-151001-0145) is a precision tool for cutting internal metric threads with 1.5 mm pitch. Designed for machine tapping operations, this extended-length tap provides additional reach to access deep or recessed holes in metal workpieces. It is intended for use in toolholders, tapping heads, and automated tapping equipment where a longer shank is required to maintain alignment and control during cutting.

Advantages

This extended machine tap offers consistent thread form and dimension control when machining internal M14x1.5 threads. The increased length allows operators to reach deeper bores and bypass obstacles without changing setups. Its geometry is optimized for chip evacuation and reliable engagement in machine-driven tapping, reducing the risk of tap breakage when used with appropriate speeds, feeds, and lubrication. The product is compatible with common tapping toolholders and heads used in CNC and automated environments.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal M14x1.5 threads in steel, alloy, and other machinable metals
• Machine tapping operations using tapping heads, drill presses, and CNC machines
• Applications requiring extended reach to access deep or recessed holes
• Production runs where consistent thread quality and reduced setup changes are needed

Key specifications

• Thread: metric M14 × 1.5 pitch
• Type: machine tap, extended length
• Intended use: cutting internal threads (through or blind holes when appropriate)
• Compatibility: designed for use with tapping heads, toolholders, and machine spindles
• Material suitability: for use on common machinable metals (steel, alloy, etc.)

How to use

Secure the extended machine tap in an appropriate tapping holder or chuck, ensuring axial alignment with the workpiece. Select correct spindle speed and feed corresponding to the material and the M14x1.5 thread specification. Apply suitable cutting fluid to improve chip removal and tool life. For blind holes, retract the tap periodically to clear chips; for through holes ensure uninterrupted chip passage. Use controlled machine feed or a rigid tapping head mechanism to avoid excessive torque and reduce the risk of tap breakage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate lubrication, correct spindle speed, and a rigid tapping setup. Inspect the tap for wear before use and replace when cutting quality degrades. For deep or difficult-to-machine materials, consider peck tapping cycles and reduced speeds to improve chip control and tool life.
