Metric fine-thread tap M12×1.25 FANAR N2-188001-0124

The FANAR metric fine-thread tap M12×1.25 is a cutting tool for creating or repairing internal threads with a 1.25 mm pitch in metallic components. Designed for both manual and machine tapping, it is intended for use where fine metric threads are required, such as precise mechanical assemblies and maintenance operations. The tool is compatible with standard tap holders and fixtures used in metalworking shops.

Advantages

This tap offers accurate thread geometry for consistent engagement and proper fit with M12×1.25 mating parts. Its design supports both hand-held tapping and machine use, providing versatility across repair and fabrication tasks. The tool’s construction delivers sufficient rigidity and cutting edge durability for typical workshop and maintenance applications.

Suitable for

• Repairing or restoring damaged M12×1.25 internal threads in metal parts
• Cutting new M12×1.25 threads in fabrication and assembly work
• Use in maintenance, automotive, and mechanical workshops
• Hand tapping with a holder or machine tapping on lathes and drilling machines

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12
• Thread pitch: 1.25 mm (fine metric)
• Type: internal thread tap
• Intended material: metalworking applications (steel, non-ferrous metals, alloys) depending on workpiece hardness
• Compatibility: suitable for standard tap holders and machine tapping setups

How to use

Select a suitable pilot hole size for M12×1.25 threads, secure the workpiece, and align the tap perpendicular to the hole axis. For hand tapping, use a tap wrench or holder and apply steady, even pressure while turning; back off periodically to break and clear chips. For machine tapping, set appropriate spindle speed and feed, use correct rigid clamping and cooling or lubrication to extend tool life. Inspect threads after cutting and remove any burrs or chips before assembly.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting lubricant for the material being tapped, control cutting speed to prevent excessive heat, and ensure proper chip evacuation. Replace the tap if cutting edges show significant wear or damage to avoid poor thread quality or workpiece damage.
