The taper chamfer — typically 8 to 10 threads long — makes it well suited for starting threads in through-holes and blind holes with adequate clearance depth. At a nominal thread diameter of 2.0 millimeters and a 0.40 millimeter pitch, this tap targets fine, small-diameter threading work common in precision machining, electronics hardware, instrumentation, and light mechanical assemblies. It is an import-grade tap intended for general-purpose threading where production volume and cost efficiency are primary considerations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shop, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments wherever M2.0x0.40 metric threads are required. Typical applications include threading small fastener holes in aluminum, mild steel, brass, and similar machinable materials. It is appropriate for use in manual tap handles, T-handle wrenches, or low-speed machine tapping operations. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users of this size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2.0x0.40 metric thread form for fine small-diameter internal threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance for threading common metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer lead eases thread entry and reduces starting torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport grade suitable for general-purpose and maintenance threading tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1, allowing single-unit purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose M2.0x0.40 metric taper tap compatible with standard tap holders, T-handle wrenches, and low-speed tapping machines that accept the appropriate tap shank size for this thread range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure the workpiece firmly before tapping to prevent movement. Use a cutting fluid or tapping compound appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Apply steady, even pressure and back the tap off periodically to break chips, especially in blind holes. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use — a worn or chipped HSS tap in this small diameter range can break and become difficult to remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2.0x0.40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EAGLE CUTTING TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MT-020-040-T-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233871790386,"sku":"MT-020-040-T-I","price":17.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623389.png?v=1780110852","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-020-040-t-i-hss-metric-taper-tap-m2x0-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
