Threading Tap FANAR M20x2 — metric external/hand tap, pitch 2.0 mm, model N1-121001-0206

FANAR threading tap M20x2 (model N1-121001-0206) is a metric external/hand tap designed to cut or restore M20 external threads with a 2.0 mm pitch. The tool is intended for manual tapping of rods, bolts and cylindrical workpieces in light workshop and maintenance applications. Its geometry and thread profile are made to match standard metric M20×2 external threads, providing a reliable fit for fasteners and assemblies that require this pitch and diameter.

Advantages

This FANAR external tap offers precise thread cutting for M20×2 applications using a hand-operated process. The tool is suitable for restoring worn threads and for producing new external threads on shafts and studs with consistent pitch and profile. Its design balances ease of use with durability for light-to-moderate manual workshop tasks, and it is compatible with standard hand-tapping procedures and fixtures.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M20 external threads on rods and studs
• Restoring damaged or worn external threads
• Manual tapping operations in maintenance and light workshop environments
• Use with handheld tap wrenches and basic clamping fixtures

Key specifications

• Thread form: metric external thread, profile to fit M20×2
• Nominal diameter: 20 mm
• Pitch: 2.0 mm
• Application: hand/manual tap for external threads
• Typical materials: suitable for steel, mild steel, non-ferrous metals and similar workshop materials when used with appropriate lubrication

How to use

Select a suitable tap wrench and secure the workpiece in proper clamping to prevent rotation. Align the tap with the axis of the rod or stud and apply steady, even pressure while turning the wrench clockwise to engage the cutting edges. Use appropriate cutting fluid and clear chips frequently by reversing the tap slightly at intervals. For restoring threads, start by cleaning the damaged area, then proceed slowly to re-cut the profile while checking thread fit with a mating nut or gauge.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable cutting lubricant to reduce friction and improve surface finish; avoid excessive force to prevent tap breakage. Confirm material compatibility and start with pilot sizing or pre-reaming if required to ensure correct engagement and thread depth.
