Tap FANAR M12 NGMM DIN-352 INOX A2-235831-0120 – stainless steel M12 cutting tap, DIN-352

FANAR M12 NGMM DIN-352 INOX A2-235831-0120 is a stainless steel cutting tap made to the DIN‑352 specification for metric threads. Designed for producing internal M12 threads in pre-drilled or pre-bored holes, this tap is suitable for hand tapping and machine tapping operations. Manufactured from corrosion‑resistant stainless steel, it is intended for use in environments and applications where resistance to rust and oxidation is important.

Advantages

This stainless steel M12 cutting tap offers consistent thread geometry aligned with DIN‑352 tolerances, ensuring accurate and repeatable M12 internal threads. The INOX material gives enhanced corrosion resistance compared with carbon steel taps, extending service life in humid or corrosive conditions. The NGMM flute and point design facilitates chip evacuation and reduces the risk of jamming during through or blind hole tapping. The tap is suitable for both manual and machine use, providing versatility for repair, maintenance and production tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting M12 internal threads in stainless and other corrosion‑resistant metals
• Maintenance and repair of equipment requiring precise M12 threads
• Precision metalworking and fabrication where DIN‑352 thread form is required
• Hand tapping and machine tapping in workshops and production lines

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12 metric
• Standard: DIN‑352 thread form and dimensions
• Material: stainless steel (INOX), corrosion‑resistant
• Flute/point type: NGMM style for efficient chip removal
• Use: suitable for hand and machine tapping

How to use

Select an accurately sized and prepared hole for an M12 tap and secure the workpiece. Use appropriate cutting fluid compatible with stainless steel to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. For hand tapping, start square to the workpiece and advance carefully, periodically reversing to break chips. For machine tapping, set correct spindle speed and feed to match material and tap geometry, and ensure proper alignment to avoid tap breakage.

Usage recommendations

Use dedicated stainless‑steel cutting fluid or lubricant to minimise work hardening and improve surface finish. Inspect taps for wear or damage before use and replace if flutes are dulled or edges are chipped. For blind holes, withdraw the tap frequently to clear chips; for through holes, ensure uninterrupted chip exit. Store taps in a dry place to preserve corrosion resistance.
