Hand tap FANAR M22x1.5 HSS DIN-2181 — metric M22x1.5, high-speed steel

FANAR Hand Tap M22x1.5 HSS DIN-2181 is a metric M22x1.5 cutting tool manufactured from high-speed steel for creating and repairing internal threads. Designed to match DIN-2181 dimensional standards, this hand tap is intended for manual tapping operations in metalworking, maintenance and repair tasks. It is suitable for use with a tap handle or wrench and is intended for threading steel and similar materials where a precision M22x1.5 internal thread is required.

Advantages

The tool’s high-speed steel construction provides a balance of hardness and toughness for consistent cutting performance and wear resistance. Compliance with DIN-2181 ensures dimensional accuracy and interchangeability with fixtures and threaded components manufactured to the same standard. The straight flute geometry and metric 1.5 mm pitch are appropriate for conventional manual tapping techniques, offering predictable chip evacuation and reliable thread form when used with recommended cutting fluids and correct tapping speed.

Suitable for

• Creating new M22x1.5 internal threads in steel and similar metals
• Repairing damaged or worn M22x1.5 threads during maintenance
• Manual metalworking and on-site service operations using a tap handle
• Prototyping and small-batch production where metric M22x1.5 threads are required

Key specifications

• Thread size and pitch: M22 x 1.5 (metric)
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Standard: DIN-2181 dimensional compliance
• Tool type: Hand tap (straight flute) for manual tapping
• Intended use: Internal thread cutting and repair in steel and similar materials

How to use

Select an appropriate tap handle or wrench that securely grips the square shank of the hand tap. Drill or pre-bore the hole to the recommended core diameter for M22x1.5, clamp the workpiece securely, and apply a suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and improve chip flow. Start the tap perpendicular to the workpiece, advance with steady, controlled turns, and back off periodically to break and clear chips. After reaching the desired thread depth, withdraw the tap while cleaning chips away, then inspect the thread for fit and finish.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material, maintain correct alignment during manual tapping to avoid cross-threading, and replace the hand tap if signs of wear or chipping occur. For harder materials or production environments consider machine taps or progressive tapping methods, while reserving this HSS hand tap for manual and maintenance tasks requiring M22x1.5 threads.
