Thread Tap FANAR M6 x 0.5 (model N1-121001-0061) — metric hand tap for M6x0.5 threads

FANAR thread tap M6 x 0.5 (model N1-121001-0061) is a metric hand tap designed to cut or restore internal M6×0.5 threads. Supplied as a single tap, it is intended for creating or repairing fine-pitch M6 threads in metals and other machinable materials. The tool suits manual tapping or use in a tap wrench for maintenance, prototyping, and light production work.

Advantages

The FANAR M6 x 0.5 hand tap provides precise thread cutting for fine-pitch M6 applications, offering consistent thread form and good dimensional accuracy. Its single-piece supply simplifies selection and use for individual operations. The design is suitable for manual operation, enabling controlled cutting and easier chip evacuation in through and blind holes when used with appropriate tapping technique and lubrication.

Suitable for

• Creating new internal M6×0.5 threads in metal components
• Repairing worn or damaged fine-pitch M6 threads
• Manual tapping with a tap wrench in maintenance and prototyping
• Light-duty production and assembly work requiring metric fine threads

Key specifications

• Thread type: metric, fine pitch
• Nominal thread size: M6
• Pitch: 0.5 mm
• Form: internal (hand) tap for cutting or restoring threads
• Supply: single tap
• Intended use: manual tapping or with a tap wrench

How to use

Select the correct hole diameter for M6×0.5 tapping according to standard tapping charts. Secure the workpiece and align the tap perpendicular to the hole axis. Apply suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and improve chip flow. Start the tap carefully by hand or with a tap wrench, cutting a few turns forward and then reversing a partial turn to break chips. Continue this cycle until the thread is formed or restored, then remove the tap and clean chips from the hole and tool.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting lubricant for the material being tapped (for example, light oil for steel, specialized lubricants for stainless steel or aluminum). Maintain steady, perpendicular alignment to avoid cross-threading. For blind holes, periodically reverse the tap to clear chips. Inspect both tap and workpiece for wear before use and replace the tool if cutting performance decreases.
