The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — makes this tap suitable for threading through-holes and moderately deep blind holes where thread starting is aided by the gradual lead. At 0.09 pounds, it is a compact, precision tap intended for small-diameter threading work in production and maintenance applications. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and industrial mechanics rely on plug taps like this one as the standard starting tap for most threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shop, toolroom, and field maintenance settings where M2.2x0.45 metric threads are required. The M2.2 nominal diameter with a 0.45 mm pitch falls in the fine small-diameter range, commonly encountered in instrument assembly, electronics enclosures, small fastener repair, and precision mechanical components. It is suitable for use in drill presses, tapping machines, and by hand with a tap wrench. HSS construction allows use in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2.2x0.45 metric thread form for small-diameter precision threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides a progressive thread lead suited to through-holes and open blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.09 pounds, sized for compact tool holders and tap wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1, available as a single unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard metric plug tap for any application requiring M2.2x0.45 internal threads.

Always drill the correct tap drill diameter for M2.2x0.45 before tapping to avoid tap breakage. Use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Back off the tap periodically to break chips when working in blind holes or ductile materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: Plug\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-022-045-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233957347634,"sku":"MT-022-045-P-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623396.png?v=1780113121","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-022-045-p-i-m2-2x0-45-hss-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
