As a bottom tap, it produces threads closer to the bottom of a hole than taper or plug taps allow, making it the finishing step in precision metric tapping operations. Weighing 0.09 pounds, this compact tap is suited for detail work in small-diameter applications where thread quality and depth are critical. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians rely on this style of tap when working in confined or depth-restricted bores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in metalworking and machining environments where M2.2x0.45 metric threads are required in blind holes. Typical applications include precision instrument manufacturing, electronics hardware, small-fastener assemblies, and repair work on metric-threaded components. It is appropriate for use in hand tapping operations or with low-speed tapping machines when controlled feed and torque are maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom tap geometry threads blind holes to near-full depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2.2x0.45 metric thread form for precise, standard-compliant threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides wear resistance and durability across a range of metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.09 pounds, suited for fine detail and small-bore work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1, available as a single-unit purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use metric bottom tap for M2.2x0.45 thread applications in hand tapping and light machine tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottom taps should be used as the final step after a taper or plug tap has already started the thread in the workpiece. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Use a calibrated tap wrench or low-speed tapping machine and advance with steady, controlled torque to avoid breakage in small-diameter taps. Inspect the hole depth and tap engagement before each use to prevent bottoming out and tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2.2x0.45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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-022-045-B-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233195295026,"sku":"MT-022-045-B-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623387.png?v=1780093815","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-022-045-b-i-hss-metric-bottom-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
