Hand Tap Set FANAR M2.5, 3 pieces — manual threading taps for M2.5 threads

FANAR hand tap set for M2.5 threads contains three manual taps sized for cutting and restoring internal M2.5 metric threads. The set is designed for hand-operated threading in small-diameter holes, suitable for workshop and field tasks on metals and other compatible materials. It provides a compact selection of taps for maintenance, prototype assembly and repair where precise, manual thread cutting is required.

Advantages

The three-piece set covers progressive tapping stages to reduce tool breakage and provide consistent thread form throughout the M2.5 hole. Hand taps offer tactile control during cutting, enabling careful alignment and adjustment when working with thin-walled components or delicate materials. The compact set is lightweight and easy to carry, making it practical for on-site repairs and bench work.

Suitable for

• Cutting new internal M2.5 metric threads in metal, plastic or composite parts
• Repairing damaged or worn M2.5 threads
• Prototype assembly and small-scale production where hand tapping is appropriate
• Maintenance and field service jobs requiring portable tapping tools

Key specifications

• Thread size: M2.5 (metric)
• Set composition: 3 manual taps covering standard tapping progression
• Intended use: internal thread cutting and repair for small-diameter holes
• Operating method: hand-operated taps for manual control
• Suitable materials: metals and compatible non-metal materials (plastics, composites)

How to use

Select the appropriate tap from the set and ensure the hole size matches the recommended drill diameter for M2.5 threads. Secure the workpiece and align the tap perpendicular to the hole. Apply cutting fluid if working with metals, then rotate the tap slowly with a suitable tap wrench, advancing a partial turn and reversing periodically to clear chips. Progress through the taps if using taper, intermediate and bottoming types, finishing with the final tap to achieve the required thread depth and quality. Clean chips from the hole and inspect the thread engagement after tapping.

Usage recommendations

Use proper drill size and steady alignment to reduce the risk of tap breakage. Apply appropriate cutting lubricant for harder materials and clear chips frequently. For blind holes, use taps designed for bottoming to achieve full thread depth. Store taps in a dry place to avoid corrosion and inspect cutting edges before use.
