Eagle Cutting Tool MT-016-035-B-I Hss Metric Bottom Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-016-035-B-I is an M1.6x0.35 high-speed steel (HSS) metric bottom tap designed for cutting internal threads in blind holes. The bottom chamfer style allows threading to run as close to the bottom of a hole as possible, making it the correct choice when full thread depth is required near the base of a blind bore. At 0.09 pounds, this is a precision hand-tool-weight tap suited for fine metric threading work. It is an import-grade tap intended for production or maintenance environments where cost efficiency is a priority alongside reliable thread form.

This tap is used in metalworking, machining, and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) applications where M1.6x0.35 metric threads are required. The fine 0.35 mm pitch is standard for M1.6 fastener systems found in small assemblies, electronics hardware, instrumentation, and precision mechanical components. It is well suited for use in drill presses, tapping fixtures, or by hand with a tap wrench on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Bottom tap chamfer for threading to the base of blind holes
• M1.6x0.35 metric thread form per standard metric pitch specifications
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds for easy single-hand or tap-wrench operation
• Import-grade tap offering cost-effective performance for production use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production tap for applications requiring M1.6x0.35 metric internal threads in blind-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a standard tap wrench or tapping fixture. Always ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct M1.6x0.35 tap drill diameter before threading. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Never force a tap against resistance — back off periodically to break chips and clear the flutes.
