Hand Tap Set FANAR 1/2" imperial thread, 2 pcs (FAN-A1-220001-3131)

FANAR hand tap set for cutting 1/2" imperial threads is a two-piece kit designed for manual creation and repair of internal threads in metal components. The set supports common 1/2" UNC/BSF-style imperial threading used in maintenance and machinery applications. Supplied as a compact pair of taps, it is intended for through-holes and blind holes where reliable, accurately formed internal threads are required.

Advantages

The FANAR hand tap set provides precise thread cutting for 1/2" imperial applications with minimal setup. The two-piece configuration typically includes progressive tap geometries to reduce chipping and facilitate controlled material removal during manual tapping. Constructed for workshop and repair use, the taps are suitable for use with standard T-handles or tap wrenches and allow straightforward replacement of damaged internal threads without the need for larger rework equipment.

Suitable for

• Manual threading of metal components requiring 1/2" imperial internal threads
• Repairing or restoring damaged female threads in machinery parts
• Maintenance tasks in workshops, service stations and industrial environments
• Creating threads in through-holes and blind holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Key specifications

• Thread size: 1/2" imperial (UNC/BSF-style)
• Set composition: 2 hand taps
• Application: internal (female) threading for through and blind holes
• Operation: manual use with T-handle or tap wrench
• Material compatibility: designed for use with typical ferrous and non-ferrous workshop metals

How to use

Select the appropriate tap from the two-piece set, clamp the workpiece securely, and ensure the hole is drilled to the correct pilot diameter for 1/2" imperial threading. Lubricate the tap and the hole with suitable cutting fluid, engage the tap square to the hole, and turn slowly using a T-handle or tap wrench. Back the tap out periodically to break chips and clear debris, and complete the thread to the required depth. For blind holes, stop before bottoming out and back off to clear chips regularly.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped, maintain alignment to avoid cross-threading, and apply steady, moderate pressure. Inspect taps for wear before use and replace if chipped or damaged to ensure thread quality and safety during manual tapping operations.
