Hand tap FANAR M24 x 1.50 6H HSS DIN-2181/2 — metric thread M24 x 1.50, 6H tolerance

Hand tap FANAR M24 x 1.50 6H HSS DIN-2181/2 is a high-speed steel cutting tool designed for manual creation and repair of internal metric threads sized M24 x 1.50 with a 6H tolerance. Manufactured to DIN-2181/2 dimensions, the tap provides consistent thread form and pitch for use in compatible metals and alloys. Its HSS material offers a balance of hardness and toughness suitable for general-purpose tapping where controlled chip evacuation and tool life are required.

Advantages

The FANAR hand tap in HSS delivers accurate thread geometry and consistent performance in manual operations. Compliance with DIN-2181/2 ensures dimensional interchangeability with standard metric components. The 6H tolerance class provides reliable fit for mating bolts and threaded parts. HSS construction offers wear resistance and is suitable for repeated use in workshop and maintenance environments.

Suitable for

• Cutting or repairing internal M24 x 1.50 metric threads in metal components
• Manual tapping operations with hand tap handles or tap wrenches
• Maintenance, assembly, and repair tasks in mechanical and industrial settings
• Prototyping and small-batch production where standard metric thread compatibility is required

Key specifications

• Thread size: M24 x 1.50 (metric)
• Tolerance class: 6H
• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Standard: DIN-2181/2
• Intended use: manual hand tapping for internal threads

How to use

Secure the workpiece and align the tap square to the hole axis before starting. Use an appropriate pilot drill to prepare the correct tap drill diameter for M24 x 1.50. Apply suitable cutting fluid to the tap and hole to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. Start threading by turning the tap with a tap wrench or handle, advancing steadily and reversing periodically to break chips. Complete the thread by chamfering the hole and cleaning chips from the thread flutes. Inspect the threaded hole with a gauge or mating fastener to verify fit and alignment.

Recommendations

For best results, select the correct tap drill size for M24 x 1.50, use compatible cutting fluid for the workpiece material, and avoid excessive torque during manual tapping to reduce the risk of tap breakage. When tapping hard or abrasive materials, consider using a pilot hole and light cuts, and replace the tap when wear degrades thread quality.
