Thread Tap FANAR M12x1.5, model N1-121001-0125, metric M12 x 1.5

FANAR thread tap M12x1.5 (model N1-121001-0125) is a cutting tool designed to form metric internal threads M12 with 1.5 mm pitch. Intended for use by hand or in machine tap holders, the tap is suitable for creating new threads or restoring worn internal threads in metal components in workshop and industrial environments. The tool is compatible with standard tapping accessories and requires correct alignment, appropriate feed and cutting fluid to achieve precise, clean threads and extend tool life.

Advantages

The FANAR M12x1.5 tap provides consistent thread geometry suitable for standard metric fasteners. Its design allows both hand and machine operation, giving flexibility for on-site repairs and production work. When used with proper cutting fluid and correct feed, the tap produces clean threads with reduced risk of chip jamming and improved surface finish, which helps reduce rework and ensures reliable fastening performance.

Suitable for

• Creating new M12x1.5 internal threads in metal parts
• Restoring worn or damaged M12x1.5 threads
• Workshop repairs and maintenance tasks
• Machine tapping in production environments using standard tap holders

Key specifications

• Thread form: metric ISO thread
• Nominal size: M12
• Pitch: 1.5 mm
• Operation: hand and machine compatible
• Intended material: metal components (steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals depending on cutting parameters)
• Usage environment: workshop and industrial applications

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure the hole is drilled to the correct tapping drill diameter for M12x1.5. If using a machine, mount the tap in a suitable tap holder; for hand operation use an appropriate tap wrench. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid to the tap and hole. Start the tap with careful alignment, advance with steady forward feed, and use periodic reverse rotation to break chips and clear swarf. Maintain correct speed and feed for the material being tapped and withdraw the tap cleanly when the thread is complete.

Usage recommendations

Use the recommended tapping drill diameter for M12x1.5 and select cutting fluid according to the workpiece material. For through-holes, ensure chip evacuation; for blind holes, control depth and use pecking or intermittent withdrawal to avoid chip accumulation. Inspect threads after tapping for dimensional accuracy and surface condition.
