Tap (narzynka) FANAR M12 x 1.5 – metric thread M12x1.5, model N2-188001-0125

FANAR tap model N2-188001-0125 is engineered to cut metric internal threads M12 x 1.5. Designed for both manual and machine tapping, this tap delivers consistent thread geometry for repair, maintenance and light production work on components that require M12×1.5 internal threads. The tool is intended for use in common metalworking applications where precise metric threading is necessary.

Advantages

This FANAR tap provides accurate metric thread cutting for M12 x 1.5 applications, offering reliable performance in repeated use. It is suitable for manual tapping with taps wrenches as well as for use in tapping machines, enabling flexibility between workshop repair tasks and low- to medium-volume production. The tool design supports consistent thread form and can reduce the need for rework when used with proper speeds, feeds and lubrication.

Suitable for

• Cutting internal metric threads M12 x 1.5 in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop repair and component maintenance requiring M12×1.5 threads
• Manual tapping and light machine tapping operations
• Prototyping and small batch production where M12 x 1.5 threads are needed

When it may not be suitable

This tap is intended for metric internal threads with pitch 1.5 mm and diameter M12; it is not suitable for imperial threads or other metric sizes. For high-volume industrial production, specialized high-speed or coated taps designed for automated systems or specific materials may be more appropriate. The suitability also depends on the material hardness and the correct selection of cutting speed, lubrication and tapping method.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12
• Thread pitch: 1.5 mm
• Intended use: internal metric thread cutting
• Operation: manual or machine tapping
• Typical materials: steel and common non-ferrous metals (depending on hardness)

How to use

Select an appropriate drill size for a pilot hole before tapping, then secure the workpiece. Use suitable cutting lubricant to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life. For manual tapping, align the tap perpendicular to the workpiece and apply steady, even pressure, reversing slightly to break chips as required. For machine tapping, set correct spindle speed and feed consistent with the material and lubrication. Clean chips from the thread after tapping and inspect thread fit with a mating bolt or gauge.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm you need an internal M12 thread with 1.5 mm pitch
• Check material type and hardness to ensure the tap is suitable
• Decide whether manual or machine tapping will be the primary use
• Ensure availability of proper pilot drill size and cutting fluid

Usage recommendations

Use recommended pilot drill sizes and appropriate cutting lubricant; maintain correct alignment and intermittent backing-off to break chips during manual tapping. For harder materials or high-volume work, consider taps with suitable coatings or machine-specific tooling to improve tool life and thread quality.
